Infused Curative, what the heck does it mean by render inert, my brain just refused to understand this
I wanted to play a chirurgeon vivisectionist obsessed with the line between life and death and what exactly it means to cross that gap.

Basically, when a normal alchemist makes an infusion, that extract slot is taken up by that infusion until the extract gets used. This can cause you problems if your extracts get stolen, or the party gets separated, or whathaveyou.
Frex, if you make an infused extract of cure light wounds for your friend Bill, and Bill decides to move to Florida, you're SOL. Bill can put that extract you gave him up on a shelf, and so long as he never drinks it, you lose that extract/spell slot.
The chirurgeon, on the other hand, can choose to ruin Bill's cure light wounds extract--rendering it inert--and get his extract slot back when he prepares his extracts. He can give out extracts of cure spells without having to worry about his party members getting kidnapped, lost, or falling into bottomless pits.
Make sense?
Much more now that I'm actually awake. Had to try and plan out my character to make it easier on me today. Now if only I could fit in reanimator into the mix for a truly life and death obsessed alchemist
