What stops a surgeon to declare every case as emergent? If they want to do a case and the patient ate but surgeon wants to do cases so he can go home what stops then from calling it emergent?

Just to clarify not that i cannot say no to a surgeon but I always wonder is there any repercussions if the surgeon declared the case is emergent but the case is not actually emergent. Like the administration will talk to the surgeon about it because of the resources use, reimbursement issues etc...
