      @shaaannon97, yes, great question! I regularly work with orthopaedic (bone) surgeons in theatres when they are correcting the shape of a patient’s spine. Whilst they are moving the spine about I do checks to make sure that the spinal cord is okay and that the patient doesn’t wake up paralysed! To be a surgeon you will have to do a degree in medicine first and then specialise in surgery…good luck!
