Probably better for the patients that he wasn’t actually at the hospital.

The buried lede here is that he threatened people to keep his scam going and stop it being reported.

Usually I give people who put this much effort into being lazy some credit. Thugs and bullies wipe that right out.

I would have thought this would get him promoted?

Here in Argentina, this man would be knows as a “gnocchi”.
The expression comes from and older expression where they call the 29th of every month ‘gnocchi day’ because you’re out of money by end of the month, so you’re going to make a simple supper out of cheap ingredients (gnocchi is a very cheap meal if you make it yourself, be it flour or potato).
So the 29th is Gnocchi Day.
Following in the logic is using the term ‘gnocchi’ to refer to those people who are either legitimately employed yet slackers, or (somewhat common) well-connected people who were able to make arrangements to get some additional income by way of being put on the books somewhere.
Because they only show up for work once a month, on payday.
