No rubber gloves. No high-tech instruments. No medical-malpractice lawyers.
Welcome to the Knickerbocker Hospital, aka the Knick, a bloody citadel of healing in circa-1900 Manhattan where great strides are made (soon, an X-ray machine!) even as its routine procedures seem borrowed from the butcher shop and its mortality rate isn't much better.
This is the setting for The Knick, premiering on Aug 8 on Cinemax.
