surgery
Surgery (from the Greek: χειρουργική cheirourgikē (composed of χείρ, "hand", and ἔργον, "work"), via Latin: chirurgiae, meaning "hand work") is an ancient medical specialty that uses operative manual and instrumental techniques on a patient to investigate and/or treat a pathological condition such as disease or injury, to help improve bodily function or appearance or to repair unwanted ruptured areas (for example, a perforated ear drum).
An act of performing surgery may be called a "surgical procedure", "operation", or simply "surgery". In this context, the verb "operate" means to perform surgery. The adjective "surgical" means pertaining to surgery; e.g. surgical instruments or surgical nurse. The patient or subject on which the surgery is performed can be a person or an animal. A surgeon is a person who practices surgery and a surgeon's assistant is a person who practices surgical assistance. A surgical team is made up of surgeon, surgeon's assistant, anesthesia provider, circulating nurse and surgical technologist. Surgery usually spans minutes to hours, but it is typically not an ongoing or periodic type of treatment. The term "surgery" can also refer to the place where surgery is performed, or simply the office of a physician, dentist, or veterinarian.
OK, it's finally gotten so bad that I've decided to go for cataract surgery. I can't shoot a decent group even with a good scope, much less iron sights. They can't correct my vision to any better than about 20/50 on my right side, which is my dominant shooting eye.

Sadly, I'll be coming home without teeth. They don't look too bad, but the Periodontal disease has made keeping them impractical and a threat to my general health.
I am not looking forward to this.
Well I honestly never knew that "trigger finger" was an actual medical condition, but I do now.
I've been suffering from pain in the thumb of my right hand for 2 full months now. It hurts at night, sometimes enough to wake me up. During the day it tends to hurt less, but I'm unable to use that...
