	:'''Chirurgeon:''' The Society Chirurgeonate was closed down in 2015. Anyone providing first aid or other medical support at an event does so under their mundane qualifications and scope of practice, as has been Lochac's policy since 2013. Event first aid is often coordinated locally, and the Kingdom Chirurgeon is usually not present to suprvise. Waterbearing in any official capacity is currently prohibited by Corpora. Reporting of injuries and medical events needs to go through the relevant officer - martial injuries through the marshallate (the marshallate injury procedures make no mention of the Kingdom Chirurgeon), other event injuries through the steward, and ultimately to the Board and Committee. Medical information being as private as it is, the fewer people who receive it, the better.		:'''Chirurgeon:''' The Society Chirurgeonate was closed down in 2015.
