This is a surgeon, not a banker or IT magnate, and nobody reasonably could justify that sort of fee for a procedure just because they're not part of the patient's plan. IMHO there's more to this story. Either that, or the physicians indulging in this obvious rort are dirtying the nest for all the others out there.
Now if the rest of the clean ones don't raise their voice(s?) and ask that this gang be disbarred, or in-barred, are they sharing the guilt?
