Well, the "assembly-line surgeon" thing is certainly amusing:)
But in principle, why not?
I don't see any reason why you would turn out to be a terribly awful surgeon.
In my opinion, that kind of job would actually suit you.
The knowledge will come with training. Besides, there's a lot of practice during training (especially with the "sleepers" in the morgue), and for the first time, you'll be an intern - i.e., a trainee assistant during operations.
You'll learn:)
I've even imagined myself as that kind of doctor sometimes. It's a normal, respected profession.
Besides, you'll get the full right to make dark, medical jokes:D

P.S. Could a person who uses vulgar language actually have trouble looking at a wound/fracture/heart with a gangster's bullet stuck in it?

P.P.S. Yes, saving lives is noble. Even romantic. And definitely, no death from hemorrhoids among paperwork.
