top surgeon

Elite medical cutter

Top surgeon is an informal, often ironic phrase for a highly skilled surgeon, popularized by a meme format where someone described as a "top surgeon" performs implausibly precise operations under absurd circumstances.

The phrase now signals exaggerated competence or mock-heroic expertise: Steady hands. I'm the top surgeon in the country.
