Peace be upon you and God's mercy and blessings.
According to Grand Ayatollah Khamenei and Grand Ayatollah Sistani (may God protect them):
Since you acted with someone else's property without their permission, you are responsible for that cup. It is not your right to determine that it is no longer suitable for use. Even if it is no longer suitable for drinking, that does not justify your action regarding someone else's property. However, in your case, it could be said that the owner, who is the doctor, might accept your action, or even if he does not agree, he may not demand compensation for such minor matters. Therefore, if you are certain that he would be okay with your action, then you have nothing to worry about.
May you be successful in all good.
