this one's too easy. The surgeon was the boy's mother

maybe the surgeon is the mother

methinks this one is a bit out of date now the standard reaction to a woman sergeon is not !?!?!?!?!

this one is also on wiki, pretty easy and i agree with ishi, women surgeons are not so rare. The surgeon is the boys mother.

it was his mum

Lame.

1. the kid is the surgeon's original son but was adopted by the other guy
2. the surgeon is also a priest and knows the boy from church and calls him "son"

the father was the priest and got killed and the surgeon was his realfather

The surgeon was a ghost.

the surgeon is male and is the "life-partner" of the man who died int he crash

or

the guy who died in the crash used to be the boy's mother but had undergone sex change procedures

she is his mother

way..way too easy call

THAT WAS PRETTY NEAT.

Yes it is obvious but you sort of dont think about his mother b cos it talks about his father dying so your mind sort of skips his mum!!

his mother..

I dunno, maybe the surgeon was the boys mother...

im eleven an i got that one

when they said child they were reffering to the father because then it could be the grandfather

the kid didnt know his dad had a gay affair....simple!

that is ..............
yes surgeon may b his mother ........

I don't get it...why can't a mother operate on her son??

The father was a surgeon. After he died he turned into a ghost. I never heard of any ghost can operate. Son or no son.

This one based on unspecificness in the Q.
Scenario: A,B,C,D are related as A's son is B and B's son is C.C's son is D.

In car B and C travelled. C(The father of D) dies and the child of A i.e B is taken to hospital where A is the male/female surgeon.
:)....heee...a bit too long..right

THE SURGEON WAS THE FATHER's FATHER . DUH!

Every seen the Cosby Show?

umm maybe the father that was killed was a step father, or the surgeon was the sep father... or the surgeon was the mother..

I feel when the boy was taken to hospital in emergency wheel bed the attendres may drunken and they mistakenly exchanged the bed (same aged another guy also met accident)and his father or mother was a surgen. That's why they denied to do surgery. But the surgen missing a golden chance he indirectly help the boy to escape from death....kesavan markantony_07@yahoo.com

That's impossible, everyone knows that women can't be surgeons

This one is SO OLD it was on "All In The Family" back in the early 70's!

firstly..
to Tyler :
Why can't a women be surgeons ?

and if the surgeon is his real dad or his mother.
shouldn't they do their best to save the kid instead of wasting time saying i cannot operate, end up needing to find another surgeon which by the time the kid might already die.
