Worked for NYU ED in Brooklyn through the pandemic, this is all true. We had a lot less of this shit in Brooklyn but I worked with a lot of these attendings and residents. It's well known those in leadership rule through fear and intimidation and any descent will get you fired. Director of the ED Femia mentioned in the article is disliked and fired multiple attendings who spoke up for their colleagues or in favor of this culture. Good to see something is happening and NYU will get it's reckoning.
