Hello,

In a medical context, "intervenants" are usually "surgeons", right?

agree  Bentevi: That would be my educated guess as well.

  -> Thanks, Bentavi! It's something like this: doctors, surgeons, etc.
disagree  Valerie SYKES: In a medical context, 'surgeons' are usually 'chirugiens'. However, without the context it is impossible to be sure what's going on.

  -> Thanks. I can't be sure, but I know they're talking most likely about the doctors or surgeons.
agree  Jack Dunwell: Yes, "intervenants" are those who do the work, thus I have a "medecin intervenant", my "doctor"
21 hrs
  -> Thanks, fourth! It's either "doctors" or "surgeons". We'd need more context to know for sure. But we are on the right track here.
