"...You don't need to worry about that. Let's operate." -CR-SO1
Frozen in Time is the first Surgery chapter in Trauma Team.
Story[]
Holden leaves the prison with the prisoner and brings him to Resurgam First Care, the hospital where he'll be operating. He is released from his handcuffs for the duration of the operation.
The prisoner meets his assistant for the operation, Hank Freebird. Freebird introduces himself and asks for the prisoner's name, but Holden interrupts him and states that the prisoner should only be referred by his prisoner number, CR-S01. CR-S01 and Freebird begin the Operation Conference and prepare for the Operation.
Conference[]
The operation is revealed to be a dilated cardiomyopathy operation, operated on the heart. Freebird expresses his concerns if CR-S01 is fit for the operation, since he heard that CR-S01 is amnesiac. However, CR-S01 dismisses the question and begins the operation.
Operation[]
As the first Surgery operation in the game, the operation serves as a tutorial operation, introducing the player to basic game mechanics and how to use Surgical Tools.
The operation begins with CR-S01 pointing out the patient's low vitals, and he asks for a Syringe and Stabilizer to stabilise the patient's vitals. Afterwards, the player is instructed to disinfect the chest area with the Antibiotic gel, and make an incision on the chest with the Scalpel. The heart is exposed and the operation proceeds to the next phase.
The player is instructed to locate the infected areas with the Ultrasound, which appear as black shadows. When an infected area is located, the player is instructed to first inject the yellow antiviral drug into the infected area, perform an incision, use the Drain to clean up the blood, and treat the myocardium with the overlapping method; the opening has to be pulled over from one side to the other twice from both directions with the Forceps, and then the incision is closed with Sutures.
After treating a few affected areas, the Ultrasound can no longer detect any more areas, even though it is known that more exist. CR-S01 attempts to Palpate the heart (feeling the heart directly) to locate more affected areas for treatment. The player is instructed to use a Special Tool, the Hand, to perform Palpation and locate affected areas. After locating and treating a few more affected areas, the heart is fully treated. CR-S01 then closes the patient up by suturing the incision, cleansing the sutured wound with Antibiotic Gel, and bandaging the incision with Tape, ending the operation.
