Synopsis for New Amsterdam:
The new medical director breaks the rules to heal the system at America's oldest public hospital. Max Goodwin sets out to tear up the bureaucracy and provide exceptional care, but the doctors and staff are not so sure he can succeed. They've heard this before. Not taking "no" for an answer, Dr. Goodwin's instinctive response to problems large and small is four simple words: "How can I help?" He has to disrupt the status quo and prove he'll stop at nothing to breathe new life into this underfunded and underappreciated hospital, returning it to the glory that put it on the map.

Short description of the couple
Dr. Lauren Bloom is the Chair of Emergency Medicine at the New Amsterdam Hospital. Leyla was a physician in Pakistan before coming to America, and when we first meet her, she's living in her car, waiting for her refugee status. They meet when Leyla brings a guy to the Emergency Department. The rider becomes unstable, and Leyla puts a needle into her heart to relieve the pressure, stabilising the patient, but initially angering Dr. Bloom (since Leyla's not a certified doctor in the US).
