Adoctor who criticized President Donald Trump's decision to leave Walter Reed National Military Medical Center while hospitalized with COVID-19 to wave to supporters from the back of an SUV said he has no regrets after working his last shift at the hospital.
Dr. James Phillips blasted Trump's drive-by stunt outside the hospital in Bethesda, Maryland while infected with coronavirus in October as "insanity."
Phillips, the chief of disaster medicine at George Washington University (GWU) who was working as an attending physician at Walter Reed on a contract basis, said the president was risking the lives of the Secret Service agents in the vehicle "for political theater."
In a tweet following his final shift at Walter Reed on Sunday, Phillips hinted his removal was linked to his public criticism of the president, but said he stood by his words.
