One way to picture procedure: the agreed set of steps, done in the agreed order. Not what you happen to do — what is supposed to be done, written down somewhere. That is why hospitals use the same word for an operation: it too is a defined sequence of steps performed by trained people.

可以想成 procedure 是「講好的那幾個步驟,照講好的順序走」:重點不是你臨時怎麼做,而是規定上該怎麼做,而且多半白紙黑字寫在某處。醫院把手術也叫 procedure,道理相同——那同樣是一套由受訓過的人照順序執行的步驟。
