The whole phrase is, "I will not cut for stone, even in the presence of disease (or something like that). I will leave this to skilled professionals. specialists in the art." This means that PHYSICIANS will not perform surgery. They will leave the cutting or surgery to trained specialists - SURGEONS. In those days - the days of ancient Greeks when the Hippocratic Oath was written, physicians and surgeons were considered two different professions. In the novel, Thomas Stone is a surgeon; whereas Ghosh - an internal medicine specialist, would be considered a physician.

Why is euthanasia illegal in places like England when its supposed to be a free country?
England is a free country, but that does not mean people can do whatever they want. There are some things called laws, and people have to follow them to not have their rights taken away, which usually means being put in jail. The Hippocratic Oath is sort of like a "law" to doctors, they all have to swear to help their patients. Part of the Oath states that doctors will not kill their patients, which is exactly what euthanasia is. no such thing as free will, then, lolz
