Our local area in Florida may be different. The local physicians/surgeons who have received their medical training elsewhere outside this country may have different ways of practicing medicine.

This is highly uninformed at best, and outright insulting at worst. All physicians practicing in the U.S. have to do their residencies in this country's teaching hospitals, regardless of foreign diploma and possibly decades of experience abroad.
And, about the o.p., imagine if the doctors battling to save the lives of the Ebola victims right now at Emory and Bethesda were to get paid only if the person survived! Guess what?? They would be working day and night regardless of no pay, because they CARE! That is how the doctor with Samaritans Purse got Ebola and why he pulled over on the highway when he got the call to donate his antibody-containing blood to Nina Pham whose blood type matched his (and let's hope/pray Amber Vinson matches too).
To hold a neurosurgeon--who completes about 12 years of post med school training--responsible for a
patient's decision to get that cancerous, invasive thing OUT of their brain is just incomprehensible.
