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.

    History

    Surgery was formed at Syracuse University in 1987. They released their debut EP "Souleater" on the short-lived Circuit Records in 1989 before releasing their full length debutNationwide through Amphetamine Reptile, a label known for its noisy, abrasive acts, in 1990. The band released the EP Trim, 9th Ward High Roller in 1993, which presented tighter musicianship coupled more straightforward approach to their sound. With the help of Kim Gordon, Trim found its way into the hands of Atlantic Records, who liked the band enough to sign them to the label. Through Atlantic, the band released their second album Shimmer in 1994 with the intention of touring extensively to broaden their fan base.

    On January 7, 1995, McDonnell suffered a severe asthma attack and went into a comatose state. He was admitted to Brooklyn Hospital and died four days later.Tom Hazelmyer, founder of Amphetamine Reptile Records and a close friend of McDonnell, felt that his excessive partying and active nightlife had contributed to his death. Feeling unable to continue, the remaining members of Surgery decided to part ways.

    Surgery

    by: Jimmy Robbins

    Verse 1:
    I'll make a joke and she'll try not to laugh
    As the men made of stone find their surgery masks
    I head down the road or the linoleum floor, I really can't tell anymore
    I see fluorescent clouds in a white tile sky
    I see trees all around with name tags on their ties
    She takes my hand, and the trees turn around
    And says, "Promise you're coming back out"
    Chorus:
    Because I always believed you
    When you swore to me, you'd pull through
    So I plugged my heart into yours
    A life support, so see, you can't leave, because I always believed
    Verse 2:
    I'll fall asleep, but she'll still be close by
    In prescription dreams, everything seems alright
    I head down the street or the linoleum floor, I really can't tell anymore
    I feel a clean plastic breeze moving left of my ship
    And the wind blows much harder when a man flips a switch
    She takes my hand, and the wind comes to a stop
    She says "Promise you're not giving up"
    Chorus:
    Because I always believed you
    When you swore to me, you'd pull through
    So I plugged my heart into yours
    A life support, so see, you can't leave, because I always believed
    I always believed, I always believed you
    I'll make a joke and she'll try not to laugh
    As the men made of stone find their surgery masks
