'medical procedures' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'turn on pals at work' is the wordplay.
'turn' becomes 'spin' (spin is a kind of turn).
'on' is an insertion indicator.
'work' is an anagram indicator.
'pals'+'at'='palsat'
'palsat' anagrammed gives 'altaps'.
'spin' inserted within 'altaps' is 'SPINAL TAPS'.

'in' is the link.
