This guys livelihood shouldn't even enter your brain, you're understandably trying to justify not wanting to act.
If everything you say is true, from an objective outsider looking in you have a moral obligation to at the very least report everything about this to the FAA and his employer. Every accident has a chain of incidents, only we never read about accidents where the chain is broken early on. The doctor enabling this also need to be held accountable. I would confront them and tell them either stop, or you'll be sending letters to not only law enforcement but their state certification boards.
After that, if this guy is serious I would get ready to defend yourself. Conceal carry classes, buy a gun (or many), etc.
You have a volatile situation, but sometimes doing what is right is the hardest thing of all.
I don't think any one can give advice on an online forum for this. We do not know the opposing side's story. Details can become embellished, as well as left out very easily.
However regardless of the story if you as an individual know that there is a potential safety hazard or threat (especially when it comes to aircraft safety), you have an obligation to speak up (easier said than done i'm sure). If you don't though others also won't.
