Better to settle for any amount of $$ then have it come out that this doctor was having sex with residents in the parking lot or getting drunk at the Duquesne club while he was supposed to be overseeing surgeries. $8m seems like nothing to keep that suppressed.
UPMC protects this guy bc he does exactly what they want him to (crank out procedures), and they know they have leverage over him. The ppl who have tried to whistleblow on this before have been fired. This is just how our world works when $$ and power are involved.
