Dr. Newell provides MD staffing at Good Samaritan Hospital, and serves in the ER. He is willing to let his staff write false reports to cover up medical errors and sign his name to them, while collaborating with the nursing staff on the cover-up. This actions has had long-term consequences for at least one patient. Anything scarier than a doctor who lies, and asks his staff to cover for him when he gets caught?
