In medicine, a '''surgeon''' is a specialist in surgery. Surgery is a broad category of invasive medical treatment that involves the cutting of a body, whether that of a human or other animal, for a specific reason such as the removal of diseased tissue or to repair a tear or breakage. Surgeons may be physicians, dentist]]s, [[podiatrist]]s or [[Veterinary physician|veterinarian]]s. Two humanoid surgeons worked for Lady Cassandra, spraying her with moisture to keep her alive. Their white suits covered their bodies and faces.
They appeared to be just employees of hers, until she threatened the Ninth Doctor that they would spray him with acid. When Cassandra teleported away, the surgeons went with her, but when the Doctor teleported her back, they did not return from wherever they had gone. (TV: The End of the World). Doctor Grace Holloway is cardiologist, who performed unnecessary heart surgery on the Seventh Doctor.
