The whistleblowers also allege Dr. Alexander Eastman was already under investigation for trying to procure narcotics for a friend who worked as a chopper pilot for the border agency.

    I know Alex. He’s a scumbag. Gave me the creeps first time I met him. Totally inappropriate with female nurses.

    Good doc tho.

      I submit being “totally inappropriate with female nurses” disqualified one as being a “good doc.”

      If he’s in appropriate with the staff, he’s probably inappropriate with patients

        I submit that a misogynist who can keep his patients alive is a better doc than an egalitarian who can’t. I would go so far as to say that the former is a “good” doc, and the latter a “bad” one, measured by every relevant standard.

          I’m sure all of Larry Nasser’s patients share your assessment in technical competency over a professional demeanor.

          having a patient’s trust is vital to one’s abilities to provide care for that patient, and professional comportment is not a thing that’s solely for nurses. The fact is doctors are dealing with humans, and not cars. but even an auto mechanic is going to have to be customer-servicy once in a while.

            I think you’re confusing morality with competence. If I have a choice between two doctors to treat my cancer and one has a fifty percent cure rate and the other has eighty percent but I find them morally repugnant, I’m going with the second doctor every single time.
