How is a hospital "functioning" if there's nobody there to provide care? That's kind of the whole point of hospitals.
Functioning in this case means the lights are on, the supplies are replenished, that the hospital has what it needs. The CEO’s job is not to ensure care is provided. That’s a doctor’s job
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.
I have said nothing of the sort. Don't put words in my mouth.
