Surgery under tough conditions

An expedition into the Canadian North is going very well until 3 of the members have an accident and need surgery. Luckily there is a surgeon among the remaining (non injured) expedition members. Too bad only that he didn't anticipate that and only brought 2 pairs of surgeons gloves.
How can he do the 3 surgeries without risking an infection to the patients and himself? He certainly needs both hands when doing the surgery.

Inhabitants:

There are 4 homes. Each man living there has a bodily feature, a bad habit and we know something about his hair.
The question is: What can you say about the hair of the smoker?

1. Left of the bald man lives someone with black hair
2. The coffee drinker is especially skinny
3. The athletic person has a trim body despite his beer consumption
4. The short guy cheats
5. The coffee drinker lives left of the long haired man
6. The blond lives two houses right of the overweight man
7. The beer drinker is blond
8. A very short man lives in the house furthest right
9. The skinny man is bald
10. The overweight man likes to smoke
11. The cheating man has long hair

He sets one of the patients on fire. Flames sterilize everything.

So, if a patient burns for 1 hr, and he is not allowed to cut them, how can he time 35min, 54 sec and 23tenth EXACTLY????

Easy! He has a box of S'mores fixin's including a 12-pack of marshmallows, each of which burn in exactly 2 minutes, and 48 tenths of a second. He sets a marshmallow on fire at the same time as the patient, and lights the next one in sequence until they are all gone. When the marshmallows are gone, he starts timing....... and when the patient has combusted, voila! 35 min, 54 sec and 23 tenths.

I don't know how he can do surgery on 3 patients with 4 gloves, if he has to use both hands and can't sterilize the gloves between patients! Unless he cuts the fingers off the gloves, he has 20 fingers on the gloves, can he cover 2 fingers and a thumb each time he does a patient?

So the surgeon has to double glove. One pair over the other. Then he can do patient 1 and then take off the outside glove and do patient two and then turn first pair of gloves inside out and put over the pair he is wearing so the inside is now the outside and then do patient 3. And then read the riot act because he has no more gloves if someone else gets hurt.
