"A ... surgeon was ... to perform surgery as he had ..."

The first ... is a seven letter word, the subsequent blanks are the same word but split into two words each time. What is the word?

With the second blanks, is it the same 2 words in each blank, or 1 half in 1 and the 2nd half in the next?

All three blanks are the same seven letter word.

The first blank is the complete word.

The other two have all seven letters, in the correct order, but with a space added to make two words in each blank.

That should be "A badaids surgeon was bad aids to perform surgery as he had bad aids"
