Hatred? For Ethan or for Landry? :P

I just know that environment, and I know what young, overambitious doctors are able to do to for career. Especially in academic hospitals.

If you mean Ethan... I hated him only in chapter 2, for his unethical behaviour (neglecting his duties as a teacher, experimenting on Annie and bullying Rookie). However, in latter chapters he started to behave more like an adult and a doctor, so mine opinion about him also changed. Especially when I came to understand that the whole controversial teaching methods were performed for Banerji's sake (I think that Ethan, in some twisted logic, wants MC to surpass him and then find a cure for Banerji). However, I don't share the opinion that the ends justify the means...

And if you mean Landry, I don't hate him. I just state the truth. He is just the classic case of idolatry between doctors, who considers Ethan as a living god. Landry's feelings for his idol may be platonic, but still overly strong. As if he was obsessed or a follower of a strange cult. I just have a feeling that there's something wrong with this kid. He just gives me a slight impression of Jeff Duffy - apparently shy, clumsy, helpless and comical - but you know, still waters run deep, if it's correct translation of saying. (By the way, I didn't hate Duffy either, rather pitied him.)

Brat isn't personal... The interns are called "doctors", so technically they aren't underage. However, they behave very immature for their age and profession. Once I was intern too, and real life looked very different from that medical fiction. In real life they wouldn't be able to party (especially in drink-till-drop way) nearly every night till dawn, and then to go to work two hours later without hangover and bad breath. Human body has its limits... I can't help but consider them as kids, at most students, but not as doctors. So brat is not reserved to Landry, but for the whole bunch.

What I hate, is hatred itself, especially in profession obliged to help others, not to hurt them (First of all, do no harm). Hatred which drove some residents to sabotage MC. Such kind of conduct is harmful not only for rival intern, but also for patients, who may in danger and need MC's help in current moment. For me, person committing it is a psychopath wearing mask of sane man or woman. This is why I thought about Duffy, then about Landry.

It may be everyone, though. Because of this sick competition, many once friendly people act like players in Battle Royale.
