Roger Swift

Swift was the hospital administrator at Walker General Hospital in San Francisco at the dawn of the 21st century. He led a group of financial donors to an observation deck, where they watched Dr. Grace Holloway's unsuccessful operation on the Doctor. Later, when trying to assess what went wrong during the procedure, he began a cover-up of the entire affair, in order to protect the hospital's reputation. Toward that end, he burned the X-ray revealing the Doctor's binary vascular system and vainly tried to bring Holloway into his deception. Since neither the Doctor's body nor his X-rays existed, it would be possible, he reasoned, to proceed as if the Doctor had never even come to Walker General that evening. This plan incensed Holloway, however, and she responded by immediately resigning. (DW: Doctor Who
