It's particularly interesting to see all the hoops the two other doctors have to jump through to get anyone in the medical community or the state oversight boards to do anything at all about a doctor who is a menace to his patients. It's just mind-boggling that he was allowed to continue to practice - and perform surgery - for so long.
I'm the child of a doctor, and I'm the first one to defend them - to stress that they are human just like the rest of us and are subject to stress and illness and just having a bad day. They make mistakes sometimes, no matter how much they try not to. No good doctor is unaware of how important it is for them NOT to make mistakes that can cost people their lives. But sometimes they can be worse than police in how they protect their own. The show really points out how the medical community can close ranks and exploit loopholes in order to protect one of their own.
