It depends on how you’re defining as the job.

The nominal surgeon usually does the “heart” of the procedure: replacing your ACL, removing a tumor, etc. Their assistants just get you into/out of the state where that happens.

Surely you don’t expect the surgeon to personally do everything related to the case, right? Wash the drapes, prep the instruments?
