I work at a small hospital (~50 beds) and the staff all know each other.
My boss (Myles) is incompetent and socially awkward, but he's a cool guy and I get along with him well. Myles is considered a department supervisor, which means his boss Troy is an administrator. Myles sucks this guy's dick to a degree that makes me lose all respect.
Troy is an older dude, and is literally similar in terms of education/background as Myles. In fact, everyone sucks Troy's dick to an unfathomable level. The reason is that this dude is the definition of a phaggot. He has his favorites and everyone else he hates. He has a habit of going on firing-sprees and firing 1-2 "hated staff" from his list every few months.
I've never sucked this dude's dick and don't really interact with him because I have no reason to. I hit him with the casual "how's it going sir" and all that other BS.
Working with me are two hot bad bitches and two ugly heffers. Well - every single fucking day Troy walks in and flirts with the bad bitches. Then, the dude will dig for a reason to scold me for some reason or another. Sometimes for shit that I didn't even do. One time Bad Bitch #1 left some paperwork out and the dude took the opportunity to tell me I know better than to be doing that and that he doesn't want to see that I did that again. Naturally, i didn't wanna argue with him and just said "i didn't do that but i'll put it away" and he claps back and I just ignore it. Similar scenarios have occurred and each time I just ignore him after he claps because I know/feel that he's trying to get me to argue, which I'm not really interested in.
Nowadays, he'll walk-in, flirt with the bad bitches, try and make the heffers laugh (which they all accept and force laugh and shit since they suck his dick), etc. Once he sees me - it's twenty fucking questions. The dude will ask "what time did you get here?" or "who is this patient?" or "are those scrubs part of the policy?" or "what have you done today?" dude doesn't ask the ladies this.
1) I'm the only guy in the department that isn't Myles. 2) I've never broken policy or rules or anything. I show up on-time in uniform, never leave early, and don't make mistakes. 3) My position is harder/higher than casual shit, which means i'm slightly more protected than the heffers/bad bitches, but I still can be replaced by any of them in a second.
What is the best approach to deal with this fuckwad? I come here because I've found myself getting anxiety just thinking about this dude's passive-aggressiveness and that shit has kept me up at night a few times, and even on weekends i'll start thinking of this dude and getting anxious that he's building up to fire me or some shit. I wouldn't be fucked if I got fired - I don't really need this job and plan to leave this winter anyway.

I work with somebody like that. My team lead tried to assert his authority on me and naturally, I told him to fuck off because it's the manager's job.
Team lead then proceeded to try getting me fired - sending letters to HR, undermine my work by giving bullshit ratings, make up violations I allegedly did with no evidence etc.
What I did was:
Now manager is aware of the politics going on and doesn't take him serious anymore. I'm now working with the CEO and team lead is fuming at the mouth. My goal is to be the new team lead
So TLDR - prove your worth, and have more connections if you dont want to kiss ass.

Personally I'd focus on documenting everything that you can so if you do find yourself on the shopping block and you're being honest when you say you don't make mistakes, the proof will be in the paperwork.
Second I'd be looking for another job in a similar field but my guess would be you're in a smaller community or a specialized hospital since the bed count is so low so opportunity may not be abundant.

About him asking a bunch of questions, I've read it's because that person doesn't think you like him, so it's like a neverending barrage of little compliance tests. Try and let him subtly know you're cool with him, even if you're not.Gotta learn how to put on specific masks for specific people, if you're looking forward to improving your place at work. You're doing things right yet they still give you shit, it's more than performance they're looking for. I'm reading Robert Green's "40 laws of power" and there's some stuff there thats useful for a bunch of scenarios. try and give it a read

More than performance, what like friendship?

Social skills, not everyone is a loner. You spend a bunch of time with colleagues and bosses, mix a group of people for long periods of time and certain social dynamics will take place.

Look up dark triad personality disorders. He kinda sounds like a narcissist. If that's the case, a narcissist will start a fight so that they can tell you how great they are and what a bunch of losers everyone else is. The easy fix is to just blow smoke up their ass and the hard fix is to get them out of your life.

What do you mean by blow smoke up their ass?

False flattery.
