It’s nuts. I know of highly paid admin in these systems who aren’t essential who aren’t getting furloughed or even had their pay cut. But actual medical professional are. Seems bizarre.

It's because hospitals are canceling elective surgeries to (a) make room for Covid-19 patients, and (b) reduce the risk that other patients will infect people. There are a lot of actual medical professionals who have skills that are specialized and not hugely useful in the current crisis.
Also, administrations are very good at protecting administrators. It's what they do.
