Jeez, how is that even possible? Like did some other asshole sneak in and get seen for some crazy disease somehow?

He is a surgeon and was in the hospital nearby, I guess saving life, so it's ok :)

Ahhh that makes much more sense! I thought it was just a regular clinician type of doctor.

Those are often the same people. I work exclusively in the OR, and we occasionally need to pull a doctor from their clinical hours to do an emergency surgery, which means some patient who's expecting a clinical appointment just got fucked.

This comes down to staffing issues, but every hospital on the planet is apparently running a skeleton crew right now, so we work with what we got.
