[[Image:IGMedic.jpg|thumb|right|Imperial Guard Field Chirurgeon]]'''Chiurgeons''' (also spelled '''Chirurgeons''') are medical and anatomical specialists of the [[Inquisition]], [[Imperial Guard]], [[Orders Hospitaller]], and [[Officio Medicae]]. Often serving in the [[Inquisitorial retinue|Retinue]] of [[Inquisitor]]s, these servants specialize not only in the art of healing but also the art of repentance, interrogation, and the yielding of information through torture. Knowing the intricacies of human anatomy, they know the exact amount of punishment they can inflict on their subjects before it expires. They can inflict the maximum amount of pain for the least amount of effort, and then nurse their subject's shattered body back to health in order to begin the process again.{{Fn|1}} ==Field Chiurgeon=='''Field Chiurgeons''' are the field medics used by the [[Imperial Guard]].field chirurgeon is first and foremost a line trooper,but one who has received additional training in orderto render medical aid to his comrades when needed.
