Why a surgeon had to..? (SPOILER!)


Why he had to kill a family member, but not to call the police? What he did to a patient (Martin's dad) and why? Did he actually kill a patient?

[spoiler]He perfomed the surgery while drunk, thus killing his father.[/spoiler]
About your other post: Google Greek Mythology + sacred deer and you'll find the answer.
