Have you ever had one of those health issues where you keep getting referred from doctor to doctor, enduring hospital visit after hospital visit, and they keep telling you what you have is something else?

Each doctor represents a transformation on a string. Like, if the transformation was "delete the first and third letters," it would change SPRINT to PINT. But that's not one of the transformations. The output of every transformation, including all intermediate steps, is a word. But it might not necessarily be an English word! And it might be a proper name.

Hints: One of the doctors translates the input word into another language! Another doctor uses chemistry information. Two doctors do nothing but move letters around. One doctor adds a letter, and one doctor deletes multiple letters.
