Theatre operator? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

surgeon

'theatre operator?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for surgeon that I've seen before include "Sawbones" , "Medical practitioner - go nurse (anag)" , "Naval doctor" , "Hospital worker" , "One who operates" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
