If you are deliberately telling private information, from a conversation that was supposed to stay in between the doctor and the patiënt (because it was unrelated to the surgery at the moment, so there was no reason to tell the collegues) while knowing that during this, the collegues will be distracted and/or be influenced and therefore more careless with the patïent, then you're unprofessional.
Even if you only take the risk, or THINK about taking the risk, it shows you do not care enough. You need to give 100% for each patiënt. You are working with people that can not interfere with anything you do.
So you need to be trustworthy. Fully.
And as soon as you start insinuating that, because someone was angry at you, you might deliberately make mistakes out of spite, you're crossing the line. Mentally maybe, but the thought being there in the first place shows that you're not being a professional.
They can go to therapists or punch a bag if they are frustrated. You can not hand an unconcious naked, living human body to a spitefull and frustrated human with a knife. No matter how well the job went afterwards, you're not supposed to take risks, especially if the doctor even says the insinuation out loud.

Wait a second, the fact that she threatened with lawsuits (which is just words btw, you can't take that personal, she had to wait 2 weeks for her hernia-treatment, she was clearly just aggravated, professionals can handle that) does not condone the fact that they were judging her naked body and calling her fat.
Do you realize what happens once someone does that?
If you, Sheena, are wrapping a gift for my aunt. You're taking care, despite the fact you don't know her.
Then I whisper to you that I actually hate my aunt, but I have to give her the gift anyway.
I then tell you my aunt is ugly and lazy and has cheated on my uncle many times. (All untrue bytheway)
Then what would you do with the gift that you're wrapping?
Can you seriously claim that the gift will still look good? Or will you accidently rip the paper a bit more and not care to fix it, 'forget' to put the bow on it, put it down rougly, hoping it'll break?
Because thát is what will happen. Now imagine your body instead of the gift. With every word the co-worker says, he/she risks her collegues being irresponsible/distracted and making mistakes.
YOU cánt have that in a hospital! It should not matter what you do!
Even if you come in, whining and screaming that you hate doctors and you don't want to go into surgery, they have to be adults, examine the situation, respond to it correctly and by which I mean, feel sorry for you & try to help you.
I've had different kids to deal with at my work. Special needs, kids with all kinds of problems at home.
If I took every time they screamed at me, personal, I'd hate them. But I don't.
I am an adult and I understand when something is meant to hurt me, or when they are scared/sad and are reacting to that. And I know how to comfort them and make them apologize for it afterwards, without using my 'status' as a teacher or complaining about them to my collegues. Because that's for immature d*ckheads.
I rest my case.

They took an oath, Clay, so yes they are supposed to live up to that. Otherwise, they will get fired. You can't be a doctor and not have sworn the oath of Hippocrates.
Also, you mentioned you don't care about what people say if they save your life. She wasn't a stranger in the street, bleeding while someone held their hand on the wound and said; "Wow, she has a big bellybutton.' (Which, to be fair, would be a sad case of sorting out your priorities wrongly.)
This woman trusted the people to put her under, cut her open, make her life better and heal her. It's not like they were selflessly trying to help a lady and accidently said something slightly offensive out loud.
This is about professionals, distracting each other during an important surgery, while gossiping about private information from the doctors talk to the patiënt.And about the naked, unable-to-respond human body they are cutting open.
Bottomline is, you can't take risks when doctors mention that the patïents "shouldn't fight with someone that's going to operate them.'
A doctor even having the thought or making the comment of deliberately making mistakes out of spite, is just borderline dangerous. You can't take that risk. They can vent their frustration at a therapist, not on unconcious vulnerable humans.

THIS IS THE OATH THEY SWORE WHEN THEY STARTED THEIR JOB:
I swear to fulfill, to the best of my ability and judgment, this covenant:...
I will respect the hard-won scientific gains of those physicians in whose steps I walk, and gladly share such knowledge as is mine with those who are to follow.
I will apply, for the benefit of the sick, all measures which are required, avoiding those twin traps of overtreatment and therapeutic nihilism.
I will remember that there is art to medicine as well as science, and that warmth, sympathy, and understanding may outweigh the surgeon's knife or the chemist's drug.
I will not be ashamed to say "I know not," nor will I fail to call in my colleagues when the skills of another are needed for a patient's recovery.
I will respect the privacy of my patients, for their problems are not disclosed to me that the world may know. Most especially must I tread with care in matters of life and death. Above all, I must not play at God.
I will remember that I do not treat a fever chart, a cancerous growth, but a sick human being, whose illness may affect the person's family and economic stability. My responsibility includes these related problems, if I am to care adequately for the sick.
I will prevent disease whenever I can, for prevention is preferable to cure.
I will remember that I remain a member of society, with special obligations to all my fellow human beings, those sound of mind and body as well as the infirm.
If I do not violate this oath, may I enjoy life and art, respected while I live and remembered with affection thereafter. May I always act so as to preserve the finest traditions of my calling and may I long experience the joy of healing those who seek my help.
