Patient, the doctor will see you now. This patient is a rare patient, with a lot of complaints. Find out what you can do to help the patient in the fun game of Operation. This poor patient has a lot of problems such as a broken heart, water on the knee, and butterflies in the stomach. Use your skills and coordination to remove the patient's "ailments" with the tweezers.
Make sure you don't touch the side of the patient or the buzzer will go off and make the patient's nose light up. When that happens, you have to call the specialist to see if they can fix the problem. The more problems you can fix, the more likely you'll win the game of Operation.
