I'm serious. You know the XS guides, right? Here:
Trauma Team: http://scathingaccuracy.com/guides/169-trauma-team-xs-guide-and-everything-else-you-could-ever-want-to-know-about-this-fucking-game
Second Opinion: http://scathingaccuracy.com/guides/152-trauma-center-second-opinion-xs-guide
They're all by SARenegade, and they're really helpful. Just beware... there's... ah... swearing. Anyways... SAR might swear a lot, yell at the game a lot, say a lot of bad words, but hey, he's useful. I promise. I XSed a TON of operations in Second Opinion (back when I didn't have Trauma Team) with his guide, but then I lost the game data. Oh well.
Anyways, because I'm arrogant and bored and too lazy to make the study guide like that, I'll just copy in some... stuff. And just for Bob's sake, I'll bleep out the swears. Unless if it completely ruins the effect. *glares at proxy* DAMN IT LOAD!
Maria Torres - Foul Mood
You'll have to secure a blood transfusion. This is probably the most dangerous part of the operation so watch it! First gel over the spot. It doesn't take much gel at all. Just apply a bit for a fraction of a second and then immediately move the cursor to the bottom right where the needle will be. Grab it with a then CALM DOWN. Make absolutely sure that you jam it in on the green dot. This is the easiest part to fail on if you're not careful. That green dot is not lenient at all. You'll need New Blood levels of precision to hit it, so don't rush this part. Or, actually, go ahead and rush it if you want. I mean this operation is less than a minute long. It's not like you'll lose much if you have to start over. It's up to you.
No, the green dot isn't lenient. Even though I've achieved exactly one MISS with the green dot. It's still not lenient.
As long as you get all the special bonuses, which isn't too hard, and finish in less than 50 seconds, which you should if you did everything I told you, you will get that XS rank. It might seem tough at first but I finished in 42 seconds so less than 50 is definitely not unreasonable at all.
Yes, but you see, the difference between you and me is that you're not human and I'm... not human either. *sighs*
Hank Freebird - The Big Guy
Aight bitches. This operation, like all of Hank's missions, is a lot of fun, but it's no longer drop dead easy like it was on Resident difficulty. No, this is serious business now. It's probably going to take many tries to XS, but is all good since it's so fun. Plus I just love how the music gets steadily better as you build a higher chain. That's such win.
The music? Hmm... I THINK, and I'm not too sure as normally I'm too busy trying not to throw the Wiimote away during Hank's ops (which stands for operations, NOT that ultra annoying strain of Stigma I've never played and never watched and know zero facts about but is annoying all the same since it's from New Blood, and like the post before this, New Blood's accuracy is annoying) than trying to notice the music, as I do in First Response and Surgery and Diagnostics and Forensics. So... I believe the order is Skill and Strength (Extended), Working A Marvel (Extended), Skill and Strength, Working A Marvel. Not sure. Geez ATLUS, make all the names similar, huh? And you call Orthopedics fun? *groans* Ortho holds an average B for me on Resident. Probably an A in Intern. Surgery's all S, First Resp all A, Orthopedics all B, and... Endoscopy is C. Naturally. Anyways...
Press and hold the A button on the blue circle at the top and make a straight line through the guideline. The B button will not work so don't try.
*bursts out laughing* What? No one else thinks it's funny? I've tried it with the B button... it didn't work.
Now then. Here are a few general tips for this procedure:
Don't blink! And if you must blink, keep it down to a minimum, and especially don't blink during the particularly precarious spots. Blink several times in between each tumor.
Squint your eyes slightly. This'll help keep you from blinking.
Keep your breaths shallow. A deep breath can cause your hand to move too much, and we don't want that. In fact, you might want to just plain not breathe at all on the most dangerous parts.
Bite your lower lip. This might sound like a joke but it really does increase precision! Don't ask me how. You know how to do this. Just make a dat ass expression.
I think I'll avoid not breathing. But then again, if I want the XS, maybe I should just pause, take a breath, unpause, play for two seconds, take another breath, etc... that's another hot tip from me to you. But probably won't work. :)
Tomoe Tachibana - Insecure Smiles
Finally, to get the XS rank you must have finished the entire operation in less than 2 minutes. Shouldn't be a problem. This operation can be beaten in like 1:40. Hell, maybe even 1:30 if you're crazy enough.
Um... no, I'm not crazy enough.
CR-S01 - Uninvited Guest
Hoooly black voodoo jesus this is getting good!
You sure this is an XS guide?
Once it is, get it and slash a vertical line across the shadow to bring out the big tumor. Switch to the drain and get rid of the mucus, then switch back to the scalpel and excise it. Do it quickly but not so fast that you miss dots. Ideally you want to hit all the dots in one go. But if you miss any, eh, whatever.

Oh noes! The intestine is full of inflammations! But don't worry, this isn't New Blood where inflammations were a million times more terrifying than Cardia. You don't have to inject EXACTLY in the inflammation points, you have a bit of leeway. In fact, it might even be more lenient than Second Opinion.
Really? Even more terrifying than Twisted Savato and Aletheia combined? And Triti on top of that? *happeh* More lenient too? *tries* IT IS!!
Vitals should now be dangerously low, around the 50s.
... in So Begins Death or something, didn't you say "this guy's vitals are low, so inject some stabilizer into him to raise it to a 20"? That wasn't even dangerous...
Now black bruises will engulf the lung, as well as a ******** amount of shadows. 4 of them are true tumors and you can memorize their locations (although the 4th will not appear until you're done with everything else) but the tough part is that the shadows that are only mucus will be MOVING. That will make it extremely hard to deal with because you don't know exactly where they will be. The only way is to find them with the ultrasound and then slash them before they get away. If you waste too much time searching around for these things the XS will elude you, and trust me, sometimes that last mucus is pretty DAMN sneaky.
I agree with you. Completely. *stabs mucus*
Anyway back to where I was. Like I said, black bruises will engulf the lung. Do NOT move the camera. Leave it where it is and begin a quick search around this area for moving shadows with the ultrasound. There will be SO MANY that you will find a ******** of them immediately, guaranteed. You want to treat as many of them as possible RIGHT NOW because if you let such a huge number of them roam free the vitals will get annihilated and then you'll lose too much time just pumping the lung full of stabilizer and treating the small tumors.
Dude. You're making me scared. But I did this on Resident and yes, vitals did get crushed. A lot.
We're almost done, but make SURE you keep your cool because if you get a good on either the closing suture or the bandage then you will have failed the entire operation. Yeah. No pressure. But no seriously. Be CAREFUL here. That bandage is more dangerous than you might think when you're under pressure to get the cool. You don't know how many times I've failed this part because my god damn hand is shaking like I got parkinson's or some ****.
You're making me really scared. Sutures have always loved me up to this point in Trauma Team. So have bandages. Chill, the leeway for this is so big, what's a BAD in Second Opinion earns you a COOL in Trauma Team. Oh yeah, what's a MISS in New Blood is obviously, a COOL in Trauma Team.
Maria Torres - Maximum Annoyance
The trick with these disclocations is to move the arm FAST. Don't hold it for very long or vitals will get pulverized. If you do it right you should get it done and have vitals still in the 60s, whereas if you hold it for very long it can get to critical in a couple seconds flat. Don't worry about being gentle. That's a lie.
Ditto. I'm never gentle with those things.
You'll now switch over to the next patient and-WHAT IS GOING ON HERE. He has a ****ing beam jammed in his chest or some ****. Not to mention some wires or whatever. But since this isn't surgery we can't treat 'em.
Eh, leave that part to CR. But that was actually my reaction, too. :) Minus the swearing. Ah right, the steel beam was the one you had to get the medal for... History of Fear, wasn't it?
Ignore them and switch to the other patient. You know how to do this right? I don't have to tell you? Oh I do? Damn, where would you be without me? Just press A up there on the patient icons to the right of the vitals. Geez.
我晕。(come on, the damn proxy's been connecting for half an hour...)
Because the hydraulic cutter has just about finished up and now that patients vitals will drop like it's HOT. In fact, they should already be critical. But don't worry about that. Do not raise them. Take a gauze and clean up the two pools under the two wires but DON'T TOUCH THE ******* WIRES. Don't place the gauze squarely on the center of the blood pool. Place it about halfway below that so that we don't get no accidents we won't regret.
And thankfully, I learned 'nuff from watching walkthroughs to not touch the effing wires.
Now we move on back to the one we abandoned earlier. And turns out he's almost dead!
Don't know about you guys, but I'm not gonna like this guy treating me if I was in an accident (or, more accurately, if a Ferris wheel collapsed on me).
Hank Freebird - Time For Trouble
Holy black voodoo monkey jesus, this operation is long AND tough. Probably gonna take quite a few tries to XS. Because of that, if your wrist starts to hurt or get tired, take a small break because that'll negatively affect your performance. Go read some online comics or something, I dunno.
Dude. Anything related to suicide victims (COUGH CLAIRE, COUGH LINDA) is a long operation. Except... well, Linda's wasn't that bad. Vitals just got pulverized. A lot.
Turns out a piece of bone is missing! Who was the ******* who left it? Oh well.
---
Incidentally, I love the way Tomoe says "Perfect! That was amazing!" When you reach a 3000 chain. Stephanie Sheh, is it? Mm, not bad.
我晕。
Though I will say one thing. You actually CAN get a single miss and STILL get the XS, though ironically, if you get a good you will not get an XS.
Tomoe Tachibana - Moment of Zen
This operation is a joke. Especially after that last balls Hank operation this one's a walk in the park. There's only 13 cools to get and there's sooooo much time to get the XS that you can take your sweet dang ol' time and concentrate on just doing everything correctly. So let's do it. As I said, there's so much time that you can basically go make a sandwich, come back, and still get the XS.
Just remember that you're supposed to lean towards the sensor bar and not the TV. Seems obvious but sometimes we may forget.
Let's take care of the polyps first. We'll use a new tool for this, the SNARE. Sounds like something you'd use to catch an animal.
You already know how to treat all of this though, it shouldn't be a problem at all, especially since you have all the time in the world to do it.
When you get to the end (you'll know because there'll be a big red seal telling you you can't go farther), you will only find a single bag here.
As long as you got all the cools and finished in under 4 minutes, that XS is yours. And frankly that's eaaassy street. You can probably finish in like 3:30 if you really want to. But whatevs.
So it wasn't all the time in the world... I was fancying a sandwich... *sadness*
CR-S01 - History of Fear
Sup.
Great intro.
It's time to close this mother of all wounds. Grab on the blue circle and then pull it to the right. This will turn it into a more manageable laceration. Though it's still a really ****ing HUGE one.
Anyway once this ***** has been sutured you'll still have to apply synthetic membranes to it 'cause it's just so damn big. Worse, it's so big that the camera can't show all of it, which means you'll have to do this in 2 parts. There are 6 membranes to place so I recommend placing 3 and then 3. Move the view down, then use the forceps to place 3 membranes on the bottom, then gel them in place. It takes a few passes with the gel, so don't jump the gun and stop prematurely. After this, move to the top and place the 3 other membranes. Gel them. That's how it should happen IDEALLY. But truth is, it will only happen like this if you're lucky. Normally, 3 blood pools will form while you're in the middle of doing this. If you're even MORE unlucky, the pools will form on the membranes you have already gelled, meaning you'll have to drain the pools and then reapply whatever membranes they peeled off. If you're UNBELIEVABLY unlucky and or slow, pools might even form twice. If this happens I suggest you just restart because now when you finish you'll only get a good. And despite what the word may say, that's NO GOOD.
You're making me REALLY scared now.
Poke them with the scalpel, drain the blood, then suture the cut.
"Poke"?
Maria Torres - Mournful Hero
You'll now have to intubate this guy with a ****ing PEN. That is RAW.
You don't even have to be careful or precise or NUTHIN'. This is even easier than the last intubation we did. Just ram that thing down his throat!
Do the chest compressions same as always for the third and final time. This will cause him to finally stabilize. 'bout fricken time. Now it's just us and the last patient. Let's end this!
Hank Freebird - Love in the Ground
Wha...abluh...abuhbuh...just... what is this... I don't even... glarbghl. ****ing... ******* ******** christ on a bobsled... this operation is unbelievable. I am not joking this is ridiculous. If you can't even imagine how to XS this I don't blame you. This makes the previous Hank operation feel like we were on training wheels. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if this is the hardest operation in the entire game. You basically have to make a pact with Satan to XS this one.
rawr too lazy to go on. Go see it yourself.
PS: I XS'd Frozen In Time! *happiness*
