...ocedures such as cutting operations. As thus construed, the definition of surgical treatment is likewise a proper exercise of the Board’s delegated authority. The appealed order is reversed. BARFIELD, C.J., and MINER, J., concur. The provisions of section 461.003(3), Fla. Stat. (1997), are now codified at section 461.003(5) in the current version of the Florida Statutes.
