I was wondering—and please, if anyone actually has the answer, do let me know, because I am quite lost here—what the standard etiquette is regarding "tipping" a surgeon for an operation.

It hasn't come to this point just yet, but I have a nagging suspicion it will. Good heavens.

Thanks.

Well, I suppose it really depends on the nature of the surgery in question. You'd likely get a more precise answer from someone who has navigated a similar situation with the specific doctor performing the procedure.
Personally, I’ve never felt the need to hand over cash or even a particularly substantial gift to doctors, though fortunately, I haven't had to deal with anything too life-altering. In my extended family, however, people have certainly handed over money for surgeries; they usually managed to sniff out the unofficial "rates" by chatting with other patients or the nursing staff while prepping for the procedure.

If you happen to find yourself in "old Chicago," just cross over the Freedom Bridge into New Brooklyn and head down Holjevac Avenue; once you hit that massive intersection where it meets Dubrovnik Avenue—you know, the big one right by the Fairgrounds—just take the very next right onto Pomorac Alley, and you'll see the Siget Community Health Center sitting right there on your left.

I happened to draw the following results:

The Number 1 single was :
Elvis Presley & The Blue Flames - "Run Away"

The Number 1 album was :
original soundtrack - "The Sound of Music"

Is anyone else interested in swapping?

Honestly, kid, you really shouldn't let these trivialities weigh on you quite so heavily. You're only seventeen, after all, and you're already agonizing over why you can't seem to put on any weight. I would suggest you simply enjoy this phase while your metabolism is still functioning at such an absurdly efficient rate—where you can practically consume an entire buffet without seeing a single change in your physique. Believe me, there will come a day when just glancing at a menu will be enough to make you gain a few pounds.
