I think Clooney is being super cool by seemingly not looking for the docs/nurses to be punished for being so unprofessional-- but c'mon!!!! These are professional medical staffers--Doctors and all-- shame on them...they no better- how absurd that his injuries caused such a need to act like a gossipy highschooler!
