Because the story deals with his life, you will tell us. Certainly, but not only. Indeed, he would have had a say in the production team of Netflix. So that the episodes retrace as best as possible what he experienced with his patients.
He thus had a great influence on the scenarios. The teams were inspired by the 150 notebooks he kept. Which detailed the treatment of thousands of patients. In order to write the cases of the different episodes. But as you will be able to realize later, other very touching stories were used during the filming.

The doctor told the New York Post. The one who inspired the Netflix series, adding moreover: “For example, a man was dying. Very serious cancer in the groin. They transferred him from Staten Island Hospital to Bellevue Hospital .”
