In the episode, a young Hasidic patient is told he will need a bone graft to heal his broken leg, leading his devout father to recoil at the possibility of a \u2018dead goyim leg from anyone. An Arab, a woman,&#8217;\u201d the outlet explained.<\/p>\n<p>The episode is actually a string of bizarre depictions of Orthodox Jewish individuals. The son, who is suffering from a broken leg, skipped shul to play basketball \u2014 an activity he, the show says, is forbidden from. And after it is explained he will need a bone graft, one of the main character nurses (who is an admitted atheist) attempts to quote scripture to the pair \u2014 who will not speak to her because, being religious zealots, they do not speak to women \u2014 and then claims to be a messenger of God warning the pair to acquiesce to medical treatment.<\/p>\n<p>The nurse eventually loses the argument, the pair choose prayer over medicine, and the boy is escorted out of the hospital, while in the voiceover, the nurse says, \u201cWhat do we do when we can\u2019t save someone? Faced with a battle that can\u2019t be won?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The interaction shocked viewers \u2014 particularly Jewish viewers \u2014 prompting an outcry on social media.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<span class=\"css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0\">Twice in one week,<\/span> <span class=\"r-18u37iz\"><a class=\"css-4rbku5 css-18t94o4 css-901oao css-16my406 r-1n1174f r-1loqt21 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0\" role=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/nbc\" data-focusable=\"true\">@NBC<\/a><\/span><span class=\"css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0\">?
