My Dad took my grandfather to his cardiologist a couple of days ago. My grandfather was there for a follow-up appointment after having a pacemaker inserted. Before the appointment, my grandfather went to the bank and removed $2000, not unusual for my grandfather who always carries a lot of cash. We don't like it but he does what he wants. At the cardiologist office, my dad sees my grandfather "palm" the money and says to the doctor, "doc, thanks for doing a great job."
Two questions, am I wrong for thinking that this is totally unethical and should I report this to the appropriate outlet, i.e. AMA, state board, etc?

Sheesh, and I'm scared to even take the hard candy my elderly pts often want to give me.
