I mean I’d also take him undergoing some actual improvement as a person, but sure that would be better than him constantly getting away with being a horrible person and it being hand-waved with “he’s just too good to lose” never mind how badly he would tank the reputation of the hospital and would be more of a liability than an asset even with his talent.
Oh but that’s not nearly as dramatic as prescribing Santa cigarettes for the shits, or letting a minor teenager get pre-sexual with him. The audience must have their fix! ARE THEY NOT ENTERTAINED‽
