Welcome to the club. And I actually bought diamond scenes.

I don't care about his childish insults ("someone with working brain" etc.) - I'm old enough to not let something like this upset me.

But what he did to MC in chapter 2 was unforgivable.

In short: he was an attending. Attendings have not only privileges (to berate interns), but also duties (to supervise and help interns). Ethan left an inexperienced Rookie without any help or advice, forcing them to treat the patient via trials-and-mistakes method, what inevitably led to disaster. Ethan didn't raise any objections during committing mistake by MC, nor deigned to help them with fixing it. The whole time he didn't show any interest, and later didn't feel any remorse; instead, he blamed MC for something what was actually his own negligence. Or worse, because some time later he admits that he knew from the start what the patient was suffering from, but deliberately toyed with both MC's career and Annie's life, just in purpose to teach Rookie in very controversial and unnecessarily hard way.

Such "teaching" methods are actually crime called malpractice: 1) intentional not providing help to patient, despite being able to help; 2) intentional not providing help to another doctor and hiding vital informations from them, despite being able and obliged to do it; 3) lack of intern's supervision, 4) lack of patient's supervision; 5) experimenting on patient without her consent, 6) intentional endangering patient's life in result. If Annie died and her parents sued hospital, Ethan would be the one sentenced to prison for his "educational" methods (not MC, because you don't punish the sword that kill, but the hand thad holds the sword).

Instead of messing with Rookie and Annie, he should deal with them in safe and ethical way. There were several safe options, differing in degree of teacher's help and degree of intern's autonomy. But leaving them both with totally no backup? It's asking for disaster! Especially since Ethan was perfectly aware that Rookie isn't omniscient, because he earlier berated them for this exact thing.

Since chapter 4, his character seems to develop some maturity and responsibility, and his behaviour seems to change for better. But even if I start to feel sympathy or interest for him, there will always be a splinter in my MC's heart caused by his injustice in chapter 2.

Despite his behavious, he's still better and more interesting than other LI. However, I'll prefer slow burn friendship path instead of slow burn romance, because he seems to be a bit unstable mentally.

PS. In real life, no doctor would dare to experiment like this. In real life, guys like House or Ramsey wouldn't last long in medical wolrd.
