In this case the hospital cannot afford to pay both the salary of CEOs and doctors that provide care.
So cuts have to be made somewhere. You’re suggesting the rational thing to do in this case would be to cut the doctors and keep the CEOs so that they can keep lights on in an empty building. That’s so crazy it just might work. Problem solved.
How is a hospital “functioning” if there’s nobody there to provide care? That’s kind of the whole point of hospitals.
