Seeing Hacker loose his mind when Humphry tells him the long list of reasons as to why the staff are there, all the while ignoring that actually the real reason as to why there is no actual medical staff at the hospital is because of decisions made by other departments which he has no direct control over because the thought of him not being in control terrified him, is quite entertaining. He is like an ignorant glory-addicted child: he doesn't want to accept that he just doesn't want to take the time and effort to understand why the hospital isn't opened he only cares about what the simple-minded popular people who criticise him say, and so he stamps his feet in impatience and when it all comes back to bite him later on he panics.
