      He then says he will hire 50 new attendings because "untrained residents" will no longer run the hospital. Good luck with that, now that they've heard you just fired an entire department on your first day. This guy seems like a malignant monster. Run for the hills.

      He says, "let's be doctors again." By eliminating the waiting room. So triage is no longer part of medicine. Riiiight. This seems like the fantasy of a malignant narcissist that such a leader would be considered a good person. This is Trump medicine.

      Just say impossible things and expect that they'll just happen, without a plan, without study, without considering for a second the human costs of your actions. Now all I can see is Donald Trump, as a medical director, being presented as a "good guy."

      Oooh shock. It turns out that firing the entire cardiac surgery department struck an innocent person, and he immediately has to walk back a radical thoughtless action. He now tasks this person to build a new department that he just set fire to. Trumpian medical drama.

      Now for pointless drama, a patient shows up with possible Ebola. Because during outbreaks we allow diaphoretic, febrile people onto planes and clear customs no problem... You can have drama short of hemorrhagic fever you know.

      My wife has bailed. Too stupid to tolerate. Too reminiscent of Trump. Apparently they had BSL IV level ebola isolation just ready to go. Good for them.

      I like the neurologist who keeps losing his glasses on his head and talks to people. They are true diagnosticians, and time with the patient is a sign of strength. Then they switch to a pt yelling in Russian. The medical director seems determined to micromanage each interaction.

      He convinces the patient not to leave AMA, and scares him with "rectal bleeding" as a possible consequence of ignoring CO poisoning while waving a folder of restaurant menus. Good to see lying to patients as a strategy coming from the top.

      It's amazing in this time of malignant narcissists ruining the country that people are craving for malignant narcissists to ruin medicine.

          And now the doctor goes into the isolation chamber housing the Ebola patient without her full protective gear on to save the patient "because there wasn't time." Yeah, right. Like that would ever happen.

          *also by the time an ebola patient is severely hemorrhaging their chance of dying is 100%*
