It will come as no surprise to anyone that the pirate profession was one of the most dangerous walks of life in the Age of Sail. The ineviteble skirmish by land or sea was highly probable to result in your death or wounding by bullets, splinters, and sharp steel. In your everyday shipboard life you might be burned in a gunpowder accident, fall from a mast, have your skull fractured from a loose block - or get bitten by a crocodile! That's not to mention the countless diseases spread by the tropical climate and poor hygiene, the likes of scurvy, yellow fever, malaria and smallpox.
Having a Surgeon aboard was an absolute necessity.
