Front-line health care professionals need a degree of detachment simply to function. Bleeding hearts will call this "sociopathy" but a doctor simply cannot afford to feel for all miseries of his patients and take their burden on his shoulder.
This said, I am not convinced Harrop is a sociopath (unlike the rather clear cut cases of Rhys McKinnon and Zach Antolek). Harrop hates women and is extremely ruthless against his dissenters, that's for sure, but he has a bleeding-heart side that, if I were his colleague, I would have felt second-hand embarrassment:

Medical schools teach future doctors to be "patient advocates", but then most med schools are not directly responsible for public administration. As medies become doctors, they are to face the blunt of public administration head on, and they cannot "advocate" for each and every patient (hence the need for "sociopathic" detachment). You may gloat over having "saved a life" by prescribing an expensive drug for a condition that is incurable; your senior will pull you aside and say, "Hey Adrian, do you know the £850 per month can be used on 10
potentially curable patients?" I define the word "professional", regardless of the nature of the job, this way: the ability to identify various stakeholders, the readiness to weight in many perspectives, to have "looked at life from both sides now". Harrop is apparently far from it.
Then there are Harrop's hyperbole of being a good-doer: he rationalize his obsession (drag) by claiming that it brings happiness to a dark and miserable world, and he considers it his mission to save "rare and special kids". I'm not familar with Caliphate politics but most people find it strange that Harrop changed party allegiance so often and so completely -- it looks as if he has no allegiance at all, merely falling for whatever that makes him look "good".
What I said perhaps amounts to this: Harrop is emotionally immature and is eager to please like a little puppy does. This is embarrassing enough for an adult, much less a professional responsible for life-and-death decisions. Perhaps what we find "weird" is nothing but immaturity.

We need more of these to boost Harrop's Rat King credentials.
Pointing that foxes are biologically disposed to kill chicken is "particularly toxic":
