I don't think they can come up with a true "father of surgery". there has been too much history, and i think man has been doing surgery since the beginning of it's existance as the caveman, since the invention of primitive tools. You could argue maby the author of Gray's Anatomy, but that is just informational. I think there had been too much time between now and the beginning of time to come up with a good answer for that question. there have been so many achivments, such as i remember reading about one doctor washed his hands before surgery regularly and had significantly less deaths.

Cavemen who "operated" on available women to pick them up at the local rock quarry. =)
