How to use surgeon in a sentence?

1. Christina Pushaw:

   For nearly two years, corporate media and partisan opponents have targeted Ron DeSantis with relentless criticism for taking a strong stand against lockdowns, in Spring 2020, they attacked Ron DeSantis for refusing to close Florida’s beaches. In Summer 2020, they attacked Ron DeSantis for opening schools. In Spring 2021, they attacked Ron DeSantis for ending local emergency orders in the few counties that still attempted to impose restrictions. In Fall 2021, they attacked Ron DeSantis for appointing State Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo, an eminently qualified physician who immediately ended the forced quarantine of healthy schoolchildren.

2. Jan Crawford:

   They have suffered and sacrificed the most, especially kids in underrepresented, at-risk communities. And now we have the surgeon general saying there's a mental health crisis among our kids, the risk of suicide attempts among girls now up 51% this year. Black kids nearly twice as likely as White kids to die by suicide.

3. Elzear Blaze, La Vie Militaire:

   In the career of glory one gains many things; the gout and medals, a pension and rheumatism....And also frozen feet, an arm or leg the less, a bullet lodged between two bones which the surgeon cannot extract....all of these fatigues experienced in your youth, you pay for when you grow old. Because one has suffered in years gone by, it is necessary to suffer more, which does not seem exactly fair.

4. Cyrus Iarrobino:

   The hand surgeon said I was a quarter of an inch going through my entire wrist.

5. Erich Voigt:

   As a head and neck surgeon, I’m trained to sort of notice these things.
