Iโve seen this elsewhere. He was juking his stats by blocking people with challenging circumstances. One example was an entry for a 300lbs baby. He could then operate only on people where success was more certain and have awesome stats.

That's somehow worse than every possibility I imagined.
I've read TFA, and it doesn't seem to say why or in what way the records were altered?
Was the doctor deliberately trying to get people excluded from the program? or doing something else that was caught by the system so it flagged their records as invalid?
some_guy is stating that he was excluding high risk recipients in order to juice his own success rates (simpler patients means better outcomes)
Is that a bad thing? Like If you had a choice between 2 patients but one had a higher chance, which would you choose?
Yes; it's bad because it's dishonest.
It's not about which specific rules they follow: it's about the importance of WHATEVER rules are chosen, and the whole community following them.
Yeah that how it should work but he was probably putting poors ahead of the rich which is a big no-no its today's capatalist America.
Rich get good treatment, the poors get to fight for scraps.
