It's honestly really sad for the surgeon. Before undergoing surgery the patient must disclose everything that could make complications on the operation for a reason, a doctor does not care what crimes the patient commits and won't have a reason to snitch, but not knowing the patient using banned substances that affect surgery could lead to life altering (and in this case outright ending it) problems.

Well, the "lead" surgeon wasn't even licenced to practice medicine in France, so it's kinda hard to feel bad for him
