Anthony Olson was told that he’d die without the treatment and to ignore a negative biopsy. He’s one of many patients who may have received harmful or unnecessary treatments from Montana oncologist Dr. Thomas C. Weiner, according to court records.

    What.

    The.

    Fuck.

    Also, 2 million for a center director at a small provider? Thats in line with like the CEO of Fred Hutch, Dana-Farber, and other cancer centers I’ve actually heard of.

    Edit: I went through US News’ top 50 cancer centers and looked for CEOs of places designated only as cancer centers (versus just a hospital). That’s above some of the salaries for CEOs of top ranked cancer centers, although below many at the truly elite centers make.

    Edit 2: even better, the Association of American Cancer Institutes reported the average Cancer center CEO salary was $809k (mean, median was $784k), with the 75th percentile making $935k in 2023 (note this guy was fired in 2020)

      This narcissist lived for being in that hospital. He was making so much because he was seeing SEVENTY patients a day. Not because he was salaried as a ceo.

      So even if he pocketed $100 a patient average, 286 days at work a year would earn him $2,000,000.

        Not sure why you’re being downvoted, although 70 seems super unlikely. Do you have a source on that?

        Bonuses for RVUs at seeing 70 patients a day would be pretty insane though

            1. Not my article.
            2. It mentions he had up to 70 patient contacts per day. I don’t see anything about him having a 70 pt schedule
