Is it possible to get your tongue split by a professional surgeon without first having your tongue pierced?

Yes. Tongue splitting is simply the act of cutting the median fibrous septum, which connects the two halves of the tongue. One may use a blade, or even a laser.

The technique you are referring to is called a "tie-off", in which a string is threaded through the hole left by a pericing and tied at the front of the tongue. The idea is to tighten the string as time goes by, which will eventually stretch the hole and create a split.

There is an old saying that, "If a doctor treats himself, he has a fool for a patient."

Most doctors will treat themselves for minor aches, pains, colds and flu, but beyond that, they know they need an objective opinion for the best diagnostic and treatment choices. They can't do that for themselves or their families without being subjective, so many doctors have a partner or physician friend who will treat them and their families unless the care is emergent or urgent, then they will usually get treatment like anyone else would at an emergency room.

Do doctors give patients vicodin before surgery to calm them down?

Vicodin should not be given to 'calm' people down as you put it. It's for pain. It's normally given after the fact, ie, after surgery, after you broke a bone. You can give it before an office procedures, like biopsies, vasectomies, ect, for pain to come. It won't help with the anxiety. If you have surgery in the hospital in the OR, you don't need it because you'll be 'out' to feel pain. To 'calm' somebody, you need something for anxiety like Ativan, Restoril, Xanax, ect.
