Yes, believe it or not, by the [[World Eaters]] still have some members that are still sane enough to properly wield a surgical tool without going for the throat. These are Berzerker-Surgeons or Butcher-Surgeons, and they are still there to the modern times because ''someone'' has to deal with all that Butcher's Nails implantation procedures.

==Overview==
They operate across the galaxy, either working with different [[Chaos Lord]]s, within a Warband or even with outside groups that are not a part of the Traitor Legion. The Berzerker-surgeons' skills are drawn from ten millennia of their experimentation, which has allowed them to hone a dizzying array of gory techniques to create new World Eaters. This includes [[Inductii|accelerated recruit induction techniques]], utilized during the [[Great Crusade]], which are brutally enhanced with forbidden methods that were granted to the Berzerker-surgeons after the [[Horus Heresy]]'s [[Drop Site Massacre]].

They have also learned various...[[heresy|''interesting'']] practices regarding [[Daemon|Daemonic pacts]] and the harnessing of the [[Warp]] which aid in creating various Roid-filled warriors who have no concept of fear, pain, or death. As the World Eaters' gene-seed has become horribly corrupted over the centuries, the Berzerker-surgeons now use those taken from other space marines to fulfill the traitor legion's needs. However, substantial work must be performed on the captured [[gene-seed]] before the Berzerker-surgeons can use it to create new World Eaters. Their skills are also utilized by warbands who expand their numbers using [[Khorne|Khornate]] space marines who were not born of the Traitor Legion. These outsiders must also undergo the psycho-surgeries practiced by the Berzerker-surgeons - a process they see as a kind of apotheosis that brings them closer to the [[Khorne|Big K]].

In terms of equipment, Berzerker-Surgeons are typically armed with stuff similar to loyalist [[Apothecaries]]. This includes a [[Narthecium]] and a [[Miscellaneous_Weapons#Servo-Arm|Servo-Arm equipped with surgical tools]]. For weapons, as World Eaters, these combat medics aren't slouches in combat and are armed with a close combat weapon such as a [[Power Axe]] or [[Chainaxe]] for example. For defense, it varies, but it seems that most of them wear some sort of [[Artificer Armour]] dating back from the [[Great Crusade]] era.
