Caduceus Database

Backfire is the fourth episode of the sixth chapter of Trauma Center: Under the Knife 2.

Story[]

Since the previous chapter, the HOA has been getting a lot of praise and starting to overshadow Caduceus, something that's a sore spot for Victor.

Meanwhile, Derek and Angie are out in the streets assisting Detective Buckley with another raid on a Delphi outpost. While he was instructed to get HOA doctors to assist him, Buckley trusts Derek and Angie more, having witnessed their ability to save Mayuzumi from her GUILT infection.

During the raid, Derek and Angie are ambushed by a few stray Delphi members, and are taken away from the police force. While the Delphi members are escaping, they force Derek to treat one of their injured in the back of the moving car.

Conference[]

Briefing Dialogue
B-Before we start, I'll try to explain the patient's condition... The patient seems to have been injured while he was escaping, and--!
Hey! Don't be so reckless! You expect to operate on this guy while this whole car's shaking!?
Shut your damn mouth! All I care about right now is putting some distance between us and the cops! You two need to suck it up and treat him!
Don't forget... We only need one hostage!
Wha--!?
...Angie, please continue with the briefing.
...Y-Yes, Doctor. During his escape, the terrorist was hit by an oncoming car. He has suffered a fracture in his right arm.
This doesn't look so good... It's definitely a compound fracture. We can't fix it with any simple first aid procedure. We'll need to operate...
In that case, the operation objectives will be:
- Treat the external injuries.
- Treat the fractured arm.
...And that should be it. But the problem is--
I know. It's not so much the patient's condition as it is the situation we're in. I can't get a good view of the affected area all crammed in a car like this. Plus, it's so dark... Hey you guys, do you have a flashlight or something? It's really hard to see back here!
Don't ask dumb questions! Make due with what you've got!
...!
Doctor...
This is gonna be tough... but we don't have a choice. There's a patient in front of us, and he needs medical attention...
You're right...
Let's begin the operation!

Operation[]

This operation is very similar to the first operation of this game, where you treat a broken arm. However, you only have a penlight as your light source. The penlight will appear in the bottom-right corner of the screen and tapping its tab will let you reposition the light.

You have three lacerations and two small cuts to treat before you open up the arm. The wound locations are all the same so you can memorize them on retries and save time on repositioning the penlight.

Once you've extracted one of the bone fragments from the arm, the next level gimmick is brought up: since you're in a moving vehicle desperately trying to flee the cops, they'll make some sharp turns that can endanger the patient if you're still operating. You'll be given a heads-up when the driver will make a turn, so when you can, stop what you're doing until the turn is made.

Gimmicks aside, the operation is the same as fixing a broken arm - extract all the fragments, patch up their entry wounds, reposition the bone fragments and secure with gel. Once that's done the vehicle enters a well-lit tunnel, so you don't have to worry about lighting and turning as you finally make the finishing touches on the operation.

Miscellaneous Dialogue[]

Failure
We can't keep going like this! We need to get him to a hospital!
Tch... I guess we overestimated your abilities... You two have outlived your usefulness...
