The proper spelling is "Chirugeon", pronounced "kyigh urge in." The following appears on the Maryland MedChi website.
"History
In January, 1799, in Annapolis, with 101 leaders of the medical profession representing most of Maryland's counties present, the Maryland Legislature approved a petition for a charter for an incorporated society of physicians in Maryland to be known as the Medical and Chirurgical Faculty of the State of Maryland. (Chirurgical was the common spelling of surgical at the time.)"
