Yes,
that's right. You don't NEED surgical qulifications to operate.
There is no law against starting up a surgical practice (and there are two individuals I know of who do it) without an MB,BS. Unfortunately, their fuck-ups end up being referred to "proper surgeons" to fix.
Oh - and you can't receive a Medicare rebate if the guy who does the operation cannot charge Medicare in the first place. So, thousands of dollars for an operation that would cost nothing in public-land.
