Kez,
When a good Surgeon stays with an unethical hair mill he choses to condone it. It is wrong and the surgeon has poor ethics and character. He is an accomplice.
The Doctor is not desperate for a job. He is not a hard luck case. He knows he is operating on someone under false pretenses, lies, and manipulation. It not like he is in the mob where he can't get out. They see very easy money; most run on greed.
