The Surgeon

[tormedhammaren]

Found a good old game I used to play on my A500 back in the beginning of the 90s. It's called "The Surgeon" and as the title imposes it'a game where you are a surgeon.

The first case is a 65 year old man with aortic aneurysm. The problem is that I don't remember how i clamp the aorta and suture him togheter. Does anyone else remember?

I knew computerised training for medical students was a mistake...

[tormedhammaren]

Hehe. Wonder how many times I've actually killed the guy. I like the fact that he wakes up and screams after going in to a asystole ECG (no cardiac electrical activity).

Is it trial and error or are the procedures in the manual?

I think they were in the manual.. Which sadly makes the game pretty much unusable without.

[Homer]

Hmm,
Maybe a few years at University would make the manual superfluous to requirements  :crazy:
Of course, you could always go to your local hospital and track down a surgeon ? Hang around in bar's near hospitals with a list of questions ??

If you have the original box, could you complete the informations in the Hall of Light? It is quite incomplete for now.

Toooo Funny !!!

Maybe lure a doctor over claiming a serious medical condition for my Amiga (who he/she thinks is your female friend...).

Nah... probably charge you.  

Maybe you could check Aminet for a manual or cheat?

Looks very similar to Life and Death?

[DaBest]

Life and Death........I still have that game in the original box. I got tired of killing all my patients.

[The_Editor]

Yeah... me too.

Don't think I  ever saved anyone !!


hehe

I will ask one of my professors. :-)

Never owned this game, but always thought that it was freeware (because of what the About menu saies). Have at least completed a couple of surgeries after trial and error.

Just like a _real_ surgeon!
 :lol:

Hmm.. it was actually life and death i thought about.. Is it not the same game?

[AmigaMance]

 No, but they are similar. The surgeon looks like a shareware clone of life and death. btw, it's a pity that life and death 2 didn't make it to the Amiga.
