While hacking away at patients may sound like a bloody blast, Trauma Center is actually quite challenging. Each surgery is like a puzzle that must be deciphered correctly and in a timely fashion, lest you want to end up with a corpse in front of you. In addition to using the right tools at specific points in the procedure, you’ll have to deal with a ticking clock and plummeting heart rates that must be stabilized (often with injections) before you can continue.
