In the Age of Discovery, Why Is the Ship’s Doctor Swinging a Hammer?

Whenever a fight broke out, Delong, the ship's doctor, would charge at the front with a hammer in hand.

The pirates were baffled. Why would a ship's doctor need a hammer?

"Isn't it obvious? To save lives, of course."

"When a crewmate gets hurt, they're usually upset and agitated. At times like that, you have to sedate them first."

Wham!

Delong knocked Kaido out with one swing, then performed a circumcision on him as quickly as possible.
