    Neither, I would take a gamble and solve it on my own.

    Is this the locus the hallowed focus, where grace love and harmony combine?

    Couldn't a surgeon who had an honorary degree conferred upon him be referred to as Dr.???

    To the original question, I'd google the procedure and then carry it out on myself, as usual...............

    They wouldn't want to be called Doctor- it is supposed to be a step down from being a surgeon.

    All corrections are sharp if you are unused to them.

    Surgeons do have degrees. They are referred to as Mr to distinguish them from medical doctors. In ye olde days if the doctor could not help you your last chance was the butcher who would attempt to hack off or out the offending part or bit or whatever he thought might be the problem. That is why surgeons are still referred to as Mr rather than Dr.
