 * I have removed some material from sources marked as copyright. There was a revdel performed in June 2014. In October 2014 IPs began adding material again without attribution (or explaining their actions in edit summaries). There are currently some large sections of text that appear to have been lifted from material published by the U.S. General Accounting Office and Texas Medical Board. Material from these two sources may not be copyrighted, but the material in the Surgeon's assistant article doesn't look as if it is properly attributed.
