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

There's a strongest taboo in medicine, to criticize nor 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 - and that was the reason in Landry's deed - doesn'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 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 would be disloyal snitch who leaked this information. The one who unintentionally caused patient's death, would be punished probably only if it was only way to avoid scandal for hospital.

It sounds harsh, but hey, it's brutal world.
