[[WMG:Boris transferred power of attorney to Hank in s01e03]]
We learn in in s06e04 when Gerta mentions that Hank not waste her time denying it; everybody knows he's had power of attorney over Boris's affairs for a long time. Boris later confirms Hank's had power of attorney for over three years ago now. In "Strategic Planning", after confirming Hank's intergity in keeping his patients's confidentiality, the "relaxation time" Boris was having on his boat was really him transferring power. Boris hints this in "Nobody's Perfect" when he tells Hank he hired him truly as someone he could trust would take care of him throughout his disease and as he told Hank, to help manage his "challenges".

* The previews for {{Covert Affairs}} mentions that the main character freelances for the CIA. In the Burn Notice pilot Michael mentions that most operatives don't actually work directly for the CIA. Burn Notice and Royal Pains have already been noted as having similar premises, (guy gets blacklisted by the establishment and privately offers his services). White Collar, Burn Notice and Royal Pains are all we help the helpless shows as well. All the shows except Royal Pains treat the cops as well meaning but bungling. Pains treats them as relatively non-existent.

** To be fair, Royal Pains is a medical drama with little, if any, focus on crime and espionage so police involve is naturally limited.

[[WMG: Hang is so against the Smart Shirts because he feels like they could have saved [[spoiler: Jack]].]]
He knows they almost definitely couldn't have, so he attributes his emotional response to the shirts as anger over Evan's actions (he would have made a bigger deal over potentially endangering patients [with tested technology] if he hadn't been lying to himself) and a sudden dislike for the shiny, portable tech and [[MacGyvering unorthodox]] treatment methods. This is just one more example of his survivor's guilt manifesting in what would normally be out-of-character actions rather than him being angry at Evan and the technology in particular.

The lack of realistic premises and the fact that tort law is completely ignored can only mean that all of these events are unreal (e.g. a dream or a delusion)created by one of the main characters.

** 2) Er... 'only results in him getting fired... and not [a vendetta] that gets him killed.'? In what universe is it normal and expected for people to murder other people over something that petty? 3) Sometimes it's not as simple as that. Against people or organizations with deep pockets, sure, you could sue them... but they're likely to drag it out in court for as long as they can which would be a Pyrrhic Victory at best even if you won unless you're equally equipped to handle that. 4) Just because you get fired, doesn't mean you're bad at your job. And given that the reasons for Hank's firing weren't exactly secret, it's likely Boris simply made a judgment call that Hank did what he did because he thought it was the right choice, among other reasons he might have picked Hank. Heck, depending on how much Boris likes to bend the rules, he may want a physician that doesn't like the system.

After seeing his behavior in episode 3, there seems to be a lot of suspicious things about Boris. It's been established that he likes his privacy, yet he seems ''very'' interested in the personal aspects about the individuals Hank treats and tries to pry information from him.

* "Why?" you ask: 1) A highly skilled surgeon is fired for saving the life a child over another patient. 2) The family of the rich man is so petty that it starts a vendetta against him that only results in him getting fired and having hard time getting a job and not one that results in him being killed.3)The surgeon is unwilling or unable to hire a lawyer,get a huge settlement from the hospital that wrongly terminated him and live happily ever after as a wealthy surgeon elsewhere in the US. 4) Wealthy people who have the money to select any physician they want select a doctor that has been recently fired under questionable circumstances. And that ISN'T a "Dr. Feelgood."
