How bad this surgeon was???

It all happened in private clinic. The surgeon is otolaringology specialist and he performed nose cosmetic surgery. The patient paid expensive surgery as cosmetic surgeries are not covered, of course. Surgeron brought someone and let do part of the surgery without patient's consent. Patient had very serious complications after and needed two more surgeries to fix the problem. The surgeon claimed that it was resident. Name of that resident was not written down in patient's chart or anywhere else, so it officially looks like that person ( called resident ) was not present at the clinic at all. Surgeon did not want to tell patient who was it and after patient's long time insisting he gave name of the resident. After another long time patient discovered that that resident whose name was given actually was not the one who was present at the clinic that day. As being pressured that resident ( whose name was given ) admitted that he was not there at all on the day of the surgery. The surgeon still does not want to reveal the name of the person who was there and did part of the surgery. Just another point that there is no any cooperation between that private clinic and any medical teaching insitution, at least not official.
Can you please coment this case? What do you think what kind of consequencies that surgent can experience if everyhting proved? What about that resident who accepted to play role like he was there to cover up for someone whose identity is still secret? Does surgeon have to tell who really was there?
And most importantly what do you think how much patient can get in court. It all happened in Canada.
