Trauma Center: Under the Knife (??? ?????? Caduceus: Surgical Operation in Japan) is a surgical simulation game developed for the Nintendo DS. Suited exceptionally well for the handheld's touchscreen, the user makes incisions, removes diseased areas, and sutures the patients back up. The game has been discontinued in North America, but has been announced in Europe and Australia (though it will probably only be available for a short amount of time just like in North America).
The player assumes the role of Derek Stiles, a young doctor who must perform surgeries and other medical operations. Derek is a descendent of the Greek god of medicine, Asclepius, and is gifted with extreme concentration, an ability referred to as the "Healing Touch."
The game takes place in 2018 where the majority of diseases, including AIDS and Cancer, have been eradicated. However, a mysterious disease known as GUILT (Gangliated Utrophin Immuno Latency Toxin) threatens mankind. The best weapon against GUILT is the "Healing Touch."
