Usually, a Doctor Who specializes in internal medicinewill consult on this one. And an abdominal surgeon might get the call to do the cutting if surgical intervention is warranted. (An emergency surgeon will have done a number of these operations when "right now" is the order of the attending physician.) Those are generalities, however. What actually happens depends on how bad the symptoms are when the patient presents, and which M.D.'s are about the facility at that time.
