Non-paygated version from a Houston news source:
The thing I don’t get is WHY? Why would any transplant doctor not want his patients as high up a donation list as they can be?

“It was not clear what could have motivated Dr. Bynon to possibly tamper with the records. Reached by phone on Thursday, he referred questions to UTHealth Houston, which declined to comment.”
He got many people killed… WTAF:
"In recent years, a disproportionate number of Memorial Hermann patients have died while waiting for a liver, data shows. Last year, 14 patients were taken off the center’s waiting list because they either died or became too sick, and its mortality rate for people waiting for a transplant was higher than expected, according to the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients, a research group.
This year, as of last month, five patients had died or become too sick to receive a liver transplant, while the hospital had performed three transplants, records show. A hospital spokeswoman said the center treated patients who were more severely ill than average."
The only thing I can think of is he wanted someone to move up, but was scared to access their file. If you access someone’s file, your name is on their record. Knock out the people in front of them and you don’t get caught
Or the Dr Strange option…
He didn’t want the sickest patients; as they could bring down his stats
Or he didn’t want a second chance to be given to the sinful and the unworthy.
$5 says it’s a race thing.
Though it might not be. It might also be a “the poors” thing. Or some other bigoted discrimination.
Teetotalism, religion, who knows? Dude could just have liked the thrill of murder.
Hell, he might just be actually following the rules, while everyone else is more… Flexible.
He most definitely was not “just actually following the rules”. FTA:
When doctors place a patient on the list, they must identify the types of donors they would consider, including the person’s age and weight. Hospital officials said they found patients had been listed as accepting only donors with ages and weights that were impossible — for instance, a 300-pound toddler — making them unable to receive any transplant.
Sir, this is America, toddlers can be 300 lbs if they want to
Can you get a liver if you were an alcoholic? Maybe he’s trying to punish them? Wild speculation here.
