This is featured in the Doctor Strange movie, in fact. IIRC the good doctor is presented with a patient whose case is so difficult that he's one of the only people in the world with a chance at successfully performing the procedure they need—but he turns it down because he thinks the odds would still be too low, and it might hurt his record. I think there might also be a karmic turn with that when his hands get messed up—I wanna say there's a scene or short sequence of the same thing happening to him, at least implicitly.
