The surgeon actually was a locum tenens, And I'm supposed to know what that is?

Everyone knows what a locum tenens is. It’s a crazy tennis player.

I think it’s a “visiting” surgeon. Not a staff surgeon or someone with normal “rights” to work there.

If you had a proper education that included Latin you would know what it meant. :)
A designated hitter is a locum tenens.

I had to look it up, too. It means to be a stand-in for someone who normally performs a particular task or duty.
Wonder if the latin ‘locum tenens’ evolved over time to become the word ‘lieutenant’?

The term is defined immediately after the quote in which it is used.
