Why did Dr. Kapoor leave New Amsterdam? That’s the question plaguing fans after a very dramatic episode of the show on Tuesday night. And it wasn’t necessarily dramatic due to what we saw on the screen, but rather due to what the characters were relaying about the future of Dr. Vijay Kapoor.
The last episode was supposed to provide an impact, with Dr. Max Goodwin chasing the Chair of the Board of Directors at New Amsterdam Medical Center, Karen Brantley, through the hospital to get money for a new project. Max wanted to deal with systemic racism head-on, and he concluded that they needed a Chief Equity Officer. To his surprise, Karen let him know they already had one.

Is Dr Kapoor leaving New Amsterdam?
At the moment, it is unclear if Dr Kapoor on New Amsterdam is leaving the show. Neither the showrunners nor actor Anupam Kher has released an official statement regarding the actor’s potential exit yet.
Early in the pandemic, actor Christine Chang was verbally attacked in a grocery store.
She told her story to
New Amsterdam co-executive producer and writer Y. Shireen Razack, who then adapted it for the small screen, and in the recent episode of the NBC hospital drama, Chang s character Dr Agnes Kao treated an Asian-American patient experiencing PTSD from a hate crime.
In the scene, Dr Kao was able to diagnose the patient, who was shaken by physical touch, because she, too, had experienced violence. We want to make accurate storytelling about underrepresented communities, Razack, who also co-founded a think tank for inclusion and equity with the goal of increasing inclusivity in TV and advancing authentic storytelling, said during a virtual panel on Friday (April 2).
