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 towards MC. But since he started to behave like more mature and responsible young man, my opinion of him also improved.

And if you mean Landry, I don't hate him. I'm just stating truth. He is a clinical example of idolatry between doctors, who considers Ethan as a living god. Landry's feelings for his idol may be asexual, but still overly strong. As if he was a stalker or a follower of some 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.

By the way, I didn't hate Duffy either, rather pitied him. Both boys at the very start gave me impression of birds with broken wings, that kind you want to take home, treat their wounds and generally defend them from cruel world. Both were chewed by their bosses in MC's presence. And being bullied is a powerful trigger to develop a mental breakdown, especially in combination with rejection of strong feelings.

Brat isn't personal... These so called "doctors" aren't technically underage, but 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 4 AM, and then to go to work at 6 AM, without hangover, drooping eyelids nor bad breath. Human body has its limits! I can't help but consider them as kids, maybe students, but not as doctors. So brats refers for the whole bunch.

What I actually hate, is hatred itself, especially blooming in profession obliged to help others, not to hurt them (First of all, do no harm); hatred which drove some residents to sabotage others. Such kind of conduct is harmful not only for rival intern, but also for patients, who may be currently in danger and need MC's help immediately. For me, person sabotaging MC is not just unprofessional, but 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.
