Set in downtown New York in 1900, 'The Knick' is centered on the Knickerbocker Hospital and its staff, notably Dr. John Thackery, the hospital's brilliant chief surgeon who pushes medicine's boundaries, pioneering new procedures despite a severe drug addiction.
In 1900, the surgeons and nurses at the Knickerbocker Hospital in New York push the boundaries of medicine in a time of high mortality rates and zero antibiotics. Chief surgeon Dr. John Thackery pioneers new methods in the field while harboring a severe cocaine addiction.
Thackery’s absence, a lack of affluent patients, and financial missteps have led to a decision by the hospital’s board to shutter the downtown location and move uptown, while everyone grapples with both personal and professional challenges.
