It was a legitimately nonprofit hospital and he probably was overpaid, but at least he was a practicing physician at one point and did seem to give a damn about his staff.
Hospitals still need an executive for decision making. Could be a president or ceo. It’s “for profit” that’s going to reverse the incentives and run the whole thing.
Good point. He earns exponentially more than anyone else in the hospital yet he can do whatever he wants. If he feels like being a candy-striper today for a few minutes, great. Then he can do whatever he wants after that. He’s not stuck doing one repetitive job day in and day out. He can do whatever he wants and earn exponential amount of money. How did he even get in that position?
to me, just the thought of having a CEO for a hospital is enough to put a bad taste in my mouth though.

Family connections most commonly.
Is lemmy made up of 15 year olds? You think a hospital can run itself with no one in charge? The comments on this thread are amazing.
Ceo implies it’s a for profit institution. Director, director general, overseer, those are titles appropriately here. CEO is a title of a corporation.
Nope, nonprofits have CEOs too. Especially nonprofit hospitals.
