The Knick

Set in downtown New York in1900, 'The Knick' is centered on the Knickerbocker Hospital and the trailblazing surgeons, nurses, and staff that work there, pushing the boundaries of medicine in an era with astoundingly high death rates and no antibiotics. Despite his hidden cocaine addiction, John Thackery is a great surgeon who is pioneering new approaches in the area. He leads a team of doctors that includes his protégé Dr. Everett Gallinger, the youthful Dr. Bertie Chickering Jr., and Dr. Algernon Edwards, a talented surgeon who was recently foisted upon him. Cornelia Robertson, the daughter of the hospital's benefactor, Captain August Robertson; surly ambulance driver Tom Cleary; Lucy Elkins, a fresh-faced country nurse; the crooked hospital administrator Herman Barrow; and Sister Harriet, a nun who isn't afraid to speak her mind, round out the lively cast of characters.
