Would you trust an ant to amputate your limb? Science is showing they are skilled surgeons.

If I was an ant, sure. Pretty sure they would be as bad at human anatomy as Zoidburg.
- An apt comparison, since Zoidberg is a fine physician... for aliens.

I would have reservations about skill transferrability from field ant amputations to modern healthcare.
Actually yes I would, especially if it was already a thing.
Do I have to ask a different colony to reattach it or can one specialise in both?
Only if they have also have ants available with good skills in anesthetizing
