The Jacked Maverick His actions actually aren't. Maybe lawful, but unethical.

There's a strongest taboo in medicine, to criticize or discredit another doctor in the presence of the patients - it's shaking their trust to doctors. The more patients are demanding, the more doctors must be solidary and supporting each other. Even competition between doctors can't justify it.

My former teacher worked in USA and told me that there is strong loyalty between doctors; and if someone tried to depreciate their colleague before patient, they would be heavily ostracized (the discrediting one, not the discredited colleague). But it works this way in many countries of Europe and Asia too.

In real world, even if the chief suspected something, they would try to bail the colleague (because MC's intentions were good, and many peopple would do the same in their place). If the patient's family would be informed about malpractice, for 99% the one suspended or expelled (and for 100% ostracized) would be disloyal snitch who leaked compromising information to patients. The one who unintentionally caused any harm, would be punished probably only if it was only way to avoid scandal for hospital. However, it depends on many factors - read below.

It sounds harsh, like medical conspiracy of silence. But hey, it's brutal world.

PS. The only reasons why doctors are disloyal are personal affairs. For example hatred, bullying or jealousy between colleagues, to such extent as to use every pretext to get rid of them. That happened in my case, and happened before to a certain consultant in my former hospital. That was Landry's purpose, and probably that's also Harper's purpose as well. However, despite understandable, it's still unethical.
