Boss Personal Issues
My boss is a physician and is going thru a divorce. Very quickly he already has a girlfriend. I am his office manager and long time friend as I have worked for him for 20 years. All of a sudden his demeanor has changed drastically and I believe he is going to hire his girlfriend to work at the office. I see major problems with this but don't feel I can say anything to him as he is totally whipped with this female. I see big trouble coming. He has hinted that this woman is married and a doctor!!! He is treating the staff very harshly and rude. I don't have a large staff either. Should I just wait to see what happens? I am afraid for some of my staff and their positions. This woman sounds and acts like she is going to come in like a bulldozer. Aargh! What to do? What to say?

There is a lot more information needed to really answer this question. Information such as the reason(s) the doctor is getting a divorce.
Why? It sounds like the doctor is hurt and on the rebound. This women/doctor is giving him what he wants and or is missing or lost in his divorce. This is something that happens a lot in divorces and is not just something that happens to men only.
I'm fairly certain the doctor is not aware of the changes you have seen in him. If he is he may not know how to handle it or may not want to be hurt again by leaving this woman. If you are that close to him that you can say something to him such as: "I've noticed some changes in you that has the staff worried" and that "I am here for you if you want to talk." Then I would suggest doing so as it might be what he is looking for, someone to talk to.
Other information that I would like to see is. You say this other women is a doctor. Is he bringing her in as a partner in the practice? If so, if your the office administrator you should see the articles incorporating the practice. You should be able to see if the doctor is going to be screwed out of anything he has worked hard to put together. This would give you another reason to speak up. Also do you know if this women plan to divorce her husband?
It is information like this that would help me help you. Most important is that you try to speak up. It just may be that as you have observed she is riding roughshod over him and he is overwhelmed and needs someone to watch out and help him.
