Isn’t/wasn’t Dr. Strange a surgeon?

yes, but his hands broke in an accident. Not sure how good he is with his hands on medical equipment/psychically controlling medical tools

The meme references training, not physical ability. Strange should arguably be overlaid on Bones.

I thought he willed himself back to full dexterity, but I also didn’t really pay attention to the movie, to be fair.

He learned to magic because he thought it would let him fix his hands. Instead he learned the guy who he thought fixed his legs with magic just uses magic to control his non-functional legs.

So he probably could do surgery but he’d probably magically control the needle instead of holding it or something. Maybe.
