It's a reference to a football huddle. At the end of the huddle, the quarterback says "BREAK!". To force something physically is to break it... the opposite is to force something mentally, or to dominate it. The surgeon doesn't want to break it, he wants to do the opposite. Okay, it's seriously a stretch, and I think the cartoonist was sniffing the ink a wee bit too much that day, but that's the best I can come up with. Cali
