Chicago Hope

Miller asks where Jeffrey Geiger is, and Watters tells him that he's on an extended leave of absence because of his daughter's illness. He's fine with that since he was planning to fire him. However, since Geiger had owned the controlling interest in the hospital, how was it sold without his involvement? And since he was chairman of the board by virtue of his ownership, once he had sold his share, he would no longer be chairman, and wouldn't need to be fired. And come to think of it, Geiger would have never sold the hospital to an HMO!
