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 bully interns), but also duties (to oversee interns). Ethan left an inexperienced Rookie without any help or advice, forcing them to treat the patient via trials-and-mistakes method, what inevitably leads to disaster. Ethan didn't raise any objections during committing mistake by MC, nor deigned to help them with fixing it. He also doesn't feel any rudimentary responsibility, blaming MC for something what was actually his own negligence.

It's even worse... Later he admits that he knew from the start what the patient was suffering from, but deliberately toyed with both MC's career and patient's life, just for his own purposes. And he calls himself "doctor"...

Such "teaching" methods are actually crime called malpractice: 1) purposeful not providing help to patient, 2) purposely hiding vital information from doctor assigned to case, 3) refusal to help another doctor despite being able to help, 4) lack of supervising his own intern, 5) lack of interest in his own patient, 6) experimenting on patient without her consent, 7) purposeful endangering patient to death.

If Annie died and her parents had a good lawyer, Ethan would be sentenced to prison for his "educational" human experiments. Most judges rather wouldn't convict MC, because usually you don't punish the sword that kills, but rather the hand that uses this sword to kill. Rookies have privilege to not know something, while attendings have obligation to enlighten them BEFORE any disaster happens, not 45 minuts after.

And yet, he has no remorse for his wrongdoing; instead of it he blames MC for not being omniscient and thus failing his human experiment. How many patients must die before you are ready? And how many people must die because of such "educational experiments"? He even dares to preach about responsibility for people under your care.

In Choice 19 of chapter 2, aside/instead of option Thanks for giving me the chance (WTF??? chance to see the prison from the inside?) there should be: You are sick, I'm turning you in! and there should be actual option to report him to his superiors or not, in the same way you later have the possibility to spill his secret about Banerji or not. However, since both Banerji and Harper favored him, he would barely get a slap in the hand.

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 being a psycho, he's still better and more interesting than other available LI.

PS. In real life no doctor would dare to experiment like this. Especially in American hospital.
