(NEWSER) - Nidal Hasan's supervisor at the Walter Reed Medical Center warned that the psychiatrist was unprofessional and lazy in a harshly critical performance evaluation in 2007. Hasan "demonstrates a pattern of poor judgment and a lack of professionalism," the report states, noting that he proselytized to his patients and allowed a homicidal patient to escape from the emergency room. Hasan only treated 30 patients in 38 weeks, the report states, about a tenth of other psychiatrists' workload. More»
