Attack: None | Defense: None | Immunities: None

Alignment: Mafia Support

Abilities: Select a player at night to perform surgery on them.

Attributes: If they are attacked tonight, they will be healed but will be roleblocked and lose the ability to vote for the next two nights.

'''So um, how exactly does this help mafia? '''

They will not count towards voting majority.

Messing with voting is bad.

You have 3 uses.

'''Uses for what? Performing surgery or actually saving a person?'''

"A Surgeon has saved your life but crippled you in the process! You will be roleblocked and cannot vote for two nights!"

Investigation Results:

Sheriff: Your target is suspicious.

Investigator: Your target could be a Doctor, Disguiser, Serial Killer, or Surgeon.

oh no not more doctor nerfs

Consigilere: Your target specializes in saving and leaving people on the edge of death. They must be a Surgeon!

alright

Goal: Mafia Goal '''I really really don't see how this helps mafia. This role kinda kills someone but also kinda doesnt because they can still talk and use their ability during the next few nights. While just letting them die will always be better. I guess, if you can protect your own mafia members that would be a little bit better, but that would still be UP as fuck because nice, your mafia member is now half dead for two nights. '''

In general, it would really help if you can explain why this role is useful, because right now I can't see where this helps the Mafia at all, it doesn't even serve to deconfirm doctor (which is already stupid in its own right because doc is already hard to confirm), because you give a unique message.
