Novice Mistake is the third episode of the first chapter of Trauma Center: Under the Knife 2.

Story

Adel finishes seeing his 20th patient for the day, diagnosing them with enteritis. As he prepares to move on to the next, Angie chimes in with a concern about the patient's previous presentation. Adel brushes aside her concerns, stating that diarrhoea and food poisoning are commonplace in Africa, and that a thorough examination may not bring up any fruitful information given the limited equipment.

Later that night, Adel is awoken to attend to an emergency patient - the same one he diagnosed with enteritis from before. Derek points out a detail that Adel had overlooked prior, and is suspecting that the patient has a gastrointestinal stromal tumor, which was proven after further investigation. Adel is riddled with guilt over his misdiagnosis, but Derek urges him to push his regrets aside and focus on saving the patient.

After the surgery, Derek gives Adel a pep talk, reminding him that doctors are also human and can sometimes make mistakes. He even echoes the lessons he learned from a previous experience to show that patience and compassion are as important to a doctor as medical skills and knowledge.

Conference

Briefing Dialogue Let's begin this operation's briefing. You will be extracting tumors located inside the patient's small intestine. These tumors are not large, but hemorrhaging has been detected, so we have to act fast. We'll need to excise them before they get any larger. You should also know that when you treat a tumor, smaller tumors will form around it. I'll let you decide which to treat first, Doctor. You heard her, Adel. There are two main objectives in this operation: - Excise and extract the tumors in the small intestine. - Treat the small tumors that form. And that's it. We'll be using the Powell Procedure to extract the tumors. Have you heard of it? Yes. We have to drain the tumor's cytoplasm to decrease it's volume before we extract it. Am I right? Exactly. Pay close attention to the procedure; you'll be doing this too, sooner or later. Yes, sir! Alright, let's begin the operation!

Operation

This operation is an extension of the tutorial in episode 1-1, this time introducing the laser, ultrasound, and drain as you locate and extract tumors. After making the opening incision, follow the steps the game gives you to learn how to find and extract tumors.

After the first one, you'll pan over to another site where you have to find and extract three more tumors. Each extraction will cause polyps to form that must be burned off with the laser. Treat all the wounds, close up, and you'll finish the operation.
