CAN YOU GET A PATENT FOR MEDICAL PROCEDURES?
If I have an thought for a “new” medical/surgical procedure, is it probable for me to “protect it” and good a little financial good form operative with a little alloy to rise it as a viable treatment/procedure? How would I request which arrange of an thought so which it could be “registered” scrupulously to give us the credit for building it? How would I most appropriate come in in to a little arrange of an agreement with a little doctor(s) to rise such a procession and can it be lonesome in the same approach one patents a product?

You really need to discuss your situation with a patent attorney.
The short answer is yes, you can get a utility patent on a new method for a new surgical procedure.
Note that if you disclose your idea to others indiscriminately, you will have a window of 12 months to file a patent in the U.S. wait more than 12 months and is prohibited by law from ever obtaining a patent, it is now considered public knowledge (there is an exception for disclosure to a limited number of people for research purposes, but if other work with you to develop your idea, considered co-inventors of the Patent Office). You have to speak with an attorney about personal agreements (contracts).
Since I work in the Patent Office, who have little contact with inventors before they actually file a patent, so I can not say the best way to document your research – you should not keep a diary well (with dates for all). Make sure you record the date when first conceived of the idea. Also make sure to maintain good grades in their progress toward improving and developing your idea, and all attempts to turn it into a working method in practice (called "reduction to practice").
I do not work in the area of biotechnology, but I understand that for most medical procedures, the examiner will require clinical data to prove that his idea makes its use when applied to humans. It is similar to the data collected to submit to the FDA for approval, so it should not require any extra work, beyond the required documentation.
Good luck!

You may obtain a patent for anything if you have the time and money.
If Babinsky discovered foot and touch your toes with this year's reflection, you think it would be compensated every time someone used the test? If a new device specifically for your procedure, you could grta patent on the device. Say that you came up with a tiny vacuum cleaner for toe nail for instance, wouldn 't "handling instructions sold with the device? Please don 't take my examples as sarcasm, I have no clue as aa what you are referring.
