Good question and I've been wondering that myself. The biggest freak is the Pennsylvania state health director. And he / she is a real doctor too. Evidently a mentally ill one, but a doctor nonetheless.
Just because you’re an Applied Biological Technician (er, cough, “Doctor”) doesn’t mean you’re mentally stable.
Quite the contrary, especially among the surgeon class: most are psychopaths, happy to have a legal reason to cut people up.
