The organ names are Easter eggs, each one based on popular YouTubers who have played the game, including Robbaz, PewDiePie and Gavin Free and Michael Jones. Among them is a stomach ball, a glowing intestine, some kind of living creature which makes noise when you detach it, a purple lung, an orange heart-like thing that causes hallucination if you touch the spikes, and a cybernetic implant.

Bizarre Alien Biology: The alien surgery has a bunch of organs with nonsensical names, and each time only one out of six is the right one.Batter Up!: The hammer replacement in the Meet the Medic level, courtesy of the Scout.All of them are fairly useless compared to the humble hammer, bone saw, and scalpel. Awesome, but Impractical: There are a great many tools, most of which are fun to play with.The "It's In! It's In I Tell You" achievement was inspired by a PewDiePie accident: He placed the heart upside-down and couldn't fix that before the patient died.Achievements have been added in the most recent update referring to the gameplay video by Birgirpall, including one that requires you to do a 180 Spoon Flip.Likewise, the achievement "I Should Never Have Doubted Myself", and the patient's official name being Bob, are taken from the Let's Play done by Robbaz.The "Shh I Doctor Now" achievement was taken from a image macro."Like an Animal" and "Like a Wet Paper Towel" are taken from the famous Achievement Hunter video of it.Guess nobody bothered to close him back up after Nigel was finished. The A&E DLC adds a phone call from Bob, who says he feels much better, but isn't sure he should be able to see into his own ribcage.It's a good thing the patients don't have any diseases that transfer via contact with skin or other liquids, otherwise you'd probably have gotten very ill or otherwise dead soon after the first operation. Hell, it's doubtful you're even wearing anything like scrubs, a face mask, or a hair net. Rather than wear gloves or any other form of protection, you're jabbing needles and knives into exposed body parts and tissue with absolutely nothing to stop the blood and other fluids getting on your hands.

This also applies to you, the player character.Not that it's saying much, considering Nigel's methods of performing the surgeries. This means that once your patient's blood level goes below 3360ml, "I'm sure he'll live" becomes a rather blatant lie. An average human male can lose up to 40% of his blood before his body can no longer keep up with the loss and he's on his way to a better world (unless some immediate medical help is applied), and even at this point his body becomes rather pale (which isn't shown in the actual game).Also alluded to with some achievements: for example, "I'm sure he'll live" requires finishing surgery when the patient has a very small amount of blood left.Artistic License Medicine: Some minor liberties have been taken regarding human physiology, such as being able to survive without otherwise vital organs.The Meet the Medic level has the Pyro's axe.In the A&E DLC there's an achievement for using the hatchet to remove the eyes. It works pretty well for getting through that pesky skull, too. Said hatchet's intended use? Slicing the brain stem. Among your surgical tools is, inexplicably, a hatchet.Already Done for You: You gotta wonder who exactly cuts out the skin of the patients and then hands these patients over to Nigel.The phone calls seem to say that Nigel is probably drugged, and might not even be a real doctor.You have to beat the appropriate surgery once to actually unlock the requisite disc, though, and the syringe disc is last. The Know Your Syringes disc teaches you what the two colored syringes do, including the very important knowledge that the green one stops bleeding. It isn't always good about suggesting the best ones, though. The Britannia 88 discs to the side of the computer offer diagrams of how to properly sever various organs and bones, as well as suggesting which tools to use.The Steam page and the diploma names the surgeon Nigel Burke.Alien Blood: The alien in the alien surgery level has blue blood.Affectionate Parody: Of the genuine surgery game Surgery Simulator 2011."I Have No Idea What I'm Doing" requires you to quickly smash up all the canisters containing the replacement organs during the alien surgery."Enter The Code" is awarded for successfully typing in a code during the space surgery that opens up the door to outside, leading to Non Standard Game Over.
