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.
