A detailed image of Surgeon General Tafani

Surgeon General Tafani is the lead surgeon at the Duel Arena. She mentions that Jaraah performs surgeries as well, and is known by her nickname, "The Butcher". She also employs two nurses, Sabreen and A'abla, to assist her in her surgeries. She, along with Jaraah and the nurses, can heal players if they have lost Lifepoints while playing the activity. They can also heal players who are not playing the minigame, and can be useful to players fighting in the nearby area. The healing is free of charge. She does not heal poison though.

Tafani, as the master of Constitution, sells the Constitution cape to members with level 99 in Constitution. She also wears the Constitution cape, implying she is an experienced fighter, although it is untrimmed suggesting that she has no other skill at level 99.

Trivia

• The term Surgeon General often refers to a government official with the responsibility for the health of medicine.
• The symbol on the medical apron and the nurse's hat worn by Tafani and her nurses is a red Saradomin symbol. This symbol may be a reference to one of the emblems used by the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, an international humanitarian movement with aims to protect human life and health. The emblem, a red cross on a white background is the original protection symbol declared at the 1864 Geneva Conventions. This emblem is used in armed conflicts to mark persons and objects (buildings, vehicles, etc.) which are working in compliance with the rules of the Geneva Conventions.
• Shortly after the Hitpoints to constitution update, she would still offer to sell a hitpoints cape. This was fixed the next day.
• Tafani is one of only four female NPCs that sells a Cape of accomplishment, the other three being Hunting expert, Kuradal and Larriar.
