Can I Report Doctors For Doing Surgery During A Webcam Meeting, As Well The Company That Keeps Letting Them Do It?

Card image cap

I apologize if this is the wrong sub. I'm having some trouble figuring out how to approach this situation.

I work for a remote company that primarily serves plastic surgeons from all over. We meet with the clients regularly using a videoconferencing platform, and two of my team members witnessed something uncomfortable.

This issue has now occurred twice: The client has shown up to the meeting, but is actively performing a procedure on a patient while answering questions on camera. In one case, the doctor asked not to be recorded and states that if he gets in trouble for what he's doing, he'll worry about it later.

Though these incidents have been reported to the company and witnessed by multiple individuals, they have not taken a stance and do not appear to have that intention. I do not think the doctor was reported by the company in either case because retention is touted above all else at this company, but I know for certain they were not asked to stop or reschedule. As far as I am aware, there has been and still is no instruction from leadership to stop a meeting when this occurs, though it is clearly wrong. If this happens to me, I want to be able to drop immediately without feeling a pressure to stay or being reprimanded.

I work from home. The doctors mentioned are in different states. The company is in yet another.

Can I report this, especially if the meeting was not recorded? And to who? Once again, sorry if this is the wrong sub. This has been troubling me.
