Imagine yourself in an operating room, hooked up to all these machines, keeping you alive as you are drifting away into unconsciousness and then into a dreamlike state. That's where the first 42 seconds of the song, Surgery, are supposed to take you.  In order to accomplish this, M&R Rush brought in recording producer, Harry Brotman who is known for his imaginative eccentricities and Harry nailed it on this song.   Breathing machines, blood transfusion machines, anesthesia drip as well as heart and brain monitors are not only in the beginning but kept on life support throughout the song, as drums, keyboards, guitars, and vocals enter and leave the operating room.   He even has Carl, on the AXXE synthesizer, simulating laser surgery before John's blazing guitar solo.   This is one of M&R Rush's most memorable songs and many people claim that Surgery is their all-time favorite M&R Rush song. Carl wrote it, Roger sings it, Marty tinkers with some electric drum sounds and the band has a lot of fun with this one.
