The Chief of Medicine

How would you describe the Chief of Medicine in terms of his view of the patient/physician relationship (Strong Autonomy vs. Strong Paternalism)?
During the article, the Chief of Medicine is showing strong paternalism in terms of his view of the patient/physician workforce.

It is very evident that The Chief of Medicine is trying to protect his patients. He gives them what they want and need but he also states that he knows the patients "consider themselves free and to hold tight to their own choices and their power to make them- despite our advice." He knows that patients are going to trust the physicians to help heal them, making him feel the need to do everything in his power to live up to the standard and duty of his job.

Syrian Refugees Affect The US

evidence that support my claim are 1) there is a very large number of Syrian refugees and if we accept too many they might overwhelm our economy and 2)a few countries (Germany, Sweden, and Turkey) have become concerned about their own economy because the Syrians are overwhelming it, which means a similar thing can happen to America.
