general surgeon
Cuts and sutures
A general surgeon is a physician who performs operations on a wide range of body systems, particularly the abdomen, digestive tract, skin, and soft tissues.
Unlike specialists who focus on one organ or area, general surgeons handle diverse procedures from appendectomies to hernia repairs to tumor removals.
They often serve as the first surgical contact in emergencies: The general surgeon on call removed his ruptured appendix.
