Looking at her ribbons, one gets the initial impression she's pretty squared away. And Medical Service Corps Surface Warfare-qualified. Don't have any other intel.

Ugh! I have two friends going on their next cruise....what a mess.
The Commander of the Fort Eustis Health Center had been suspended. She was relieved of command this week.
Cleaning up the mess?

Are we sure it's the CO/XO? I wonder how division Chief's run everything?
Correct, my bad, thanks. That's what I get for reading her SDB coat at 0500 pre-coffee.
These hospital ships are the bane of the Navy's existence. Civilian ship drivers (military sealift command), hardly any security (prone to pirate attacks if they enter such waters)...and they're filled with a bunch of horny medical providers. People sleeping around, the occasional love triangle/murder mystery . . .this is always the norm on the USNS Loveboat.
The same mission can probably be executed on the USS amphib or USS CVN with extra medical compliments. Not to say that such ships don't have their own fair share of personnel problems, but they are warships and tend to be on north side of the discipline scale.

CVN might be a little tight if it's for numerous humanitarian same-day surgeries. I still have fond memories of the telephone-booth sized OR (the one and only OR) on the USS George Washington, with 1/2 of that miniscule available floor space taken up by the Steris machine. My 2 person stateroom was bigger. I was very surprised by how small the medical space (generally speaking) was on a ship as big as a CVN. I got a tour of the USS New York at 2011's NYC Fleet Week, and while I can't recall the exact number of ORs it did have more elbow room.
And yet another CO and CMC bite the dust, this time at Kandahar.

They tried to fight this when I was deployed on the MERCY for PP12. They just piled on loads of busy work and drove morale into the ground. I'm pretty sure that lonely people still found solace in each other's arms.
Heard that the MSC master was also relieved. Gonna be a good story someday.
