Yeah that was quite dark. Also though, there was a case of a surgeon using diathermy to brand his initials onto patients organs.

My personal experience is that some surgeons (definitely not all of them) are particularly prone to suffering from hubris - at which point they genuinely believe they can do anything they want and it’ll be fine, and god have mercy on anyone who tries to tell them they’re wrong.

You almost have to have some bit of hubris to think “I’m going to cut open this living human and he will survive and I will be paid for doing so.”

People have known this for a while. See the film "Malice" and Alec Baldwin's "I am God" diatribe.
