Does anyone know the English (British and/or American) equivalent to "cirujano del pueblo", please?

Is this what you need?

Hope it helps!

Thanks for the reply mem286.

"Town surgeon" to my ears at least, either sounds somewhat historical, from a American Western movie perhaps or from Victorian England or earlier or is being used purely descriptively, i.e. a surgeon practising in a small town.

The text I'm looking at is in modern South American times where at least reasonably modern hospitals and medical facilities exist.

Could he be described just as a "general surgeon"?

Yes, I guess you're right. To me it sounds like an old expression too

I agree with Mem, town surgeon is a good traslation for the term. In Spanish it sounds exaclty like in Eglish!
