Re: Surgery - How does it work?
Lots of good commentary above, but allow me to add that in most GURPS games, at least most of the ones I've played in, the surgery skill is just a background professional skill, since the part of the injury system it affects are simply not used. Permanent crippling, internal bleeding, appendicitis, etc. just don't happen to PCs.
And that's perfectly ok. Realistic injury modelling is not compatible with the types of shenanigans most PCs get into, at least in the long term.
