TKD doesn't say why it's done, but I think the reason is obvious: you're
fronting the object for emphasis.
Fronting is commonly done in many languages for emphasis. Saying the
most important word first is a common thing to do.
So here you're not only saying *DaH HaqwI''e' yISam*/Find the SURGEON
(not someone else) now!; /you're saying*HaqwI''e' DaH yISam,* which
essentially means /The surgeon! Find him/her now!/
