The whole surgeon storyline is off scale to reality - no one at the hospital (directors/managers etc) are going to sit the patient in question down in a side room and discuss the ongoing investigation with them; confessing to what he’s done (as at this stage also it’s not been proven) and also showing them the selfie on the phone! They wouldn’t be privy to that information. It’s all done by the book and there would be procedures in place in line with the disciplinary procedure at the hospital. It and all it’s evidence can’t just be causally discussed with Joe Bloggs off the street!
