Complicity in interrogation

An obstetrician is deployed to a distant country where he is approached by intelligence operatives and told to lay out the scariest surgical instruments on OR trays and the intelligence people would be bringing a prisoner into the OR to question.

The obstetrician does not feel comfortable doing that (colluding in interrogation) and talks with fellow providers. He discovers that here are rumors that other providers had been asked (told) to do similar things and when they refused they "disappeared"...
