* The final Episode of ''Under the Knife'' (not ''Second Opinion'') reveals that GUILT is cultivated inside [[spoiler:seven different children, all of which are labeled as "Sinners"; Adam's implication is that ''they'' are guilty of some sort of sin bad enough to deserve this fate.]] In ''Under the Knife 2'', we find out that such biological atrocities [[spoiler:run in the family: Heinrich does the same with his own children.]]

* The villain of ''New Blood'' reveals after you defeat the final operation that [[spoiler:he's suffering from diencephalic sclerosis, which he was using Stigma to counteract]]. Translated from medical jargon, that means that [[spoiler:''his brain is petrifying'']]. That's a horrible thing to imagine, though it does explain [[spoiler:why he dies so quickly after Stigma is removed]].

* Trauma Team has a pretty scary one. [[spoiler:The Rosalia Virus causes WAY too many people to die. And when a person truly dies, they bleed to DEATH through anything with a hole, including their EYES. Sandra Lieberman demonstrates this as the game gives the player a good close-up of her face as she succumbs to the disease.]]
** [[spoiler: Rosalia is filoviridae (Ebola-type virus) that is spread by butterflies, or more accurately, the wing scales they shed during their migration period.]] While giving you a [[spoiler: touch of AxCrazy provided it spreads to the brain. It also just happens to leave it's trademark black bruises in the shape of a freaking CLAW on the liver of most victims. It's likely a consequence of the bruises forming near the entry point of the liver but it still looks frighting.]]

* In Trauma Team, Tomoe's mission ''Resolution'' is rather creepy: you guide her endoscope through a shifting maze of collapsed rubble with only the desperate cries for help from those trapped within to guide you. Pretty frickin' unsettling.
* Another one in Trauma Team, [[spoiler:At the end of one of Naomi's missions a bomb (inside a teddy bear) that is supposed to kill Naomi is taken by Alissa and EXPLODES WHILE SHE'S HOLDING IT. Even though it was supposed to kill Naomi, it killed Alissa's parents and almost killed Alissa, leaving her orphaned, so in a really bad way, the Raging Bomber still wins, by killing even more people then she wanted. Although it makes it more satisfying once you catch her.]]
** Not only that, but the bombings examined by Naomi had the bombs explode at practically point-blank range. The third and fourth victims never had a chance to see their deaths coming.

* At first, the operations in ''Under the Knife'' / ''[[VideoGameRemake Second Opinion]]'' are relatively low-tension operations: removing glass from a patient's arm, removing tumors from another patient's stomach, burning away polyps from someone's throat. Might make some players quesy, but nothing really life-threatening happening. However, the fourth operation is a WhamEpisode, giving you the first life-or-death operation in the game. Defibrilator, done. Remove glass shards from patient's chest area, done. Open up patient and oh god there are shards of glass in his heart too!

* Linda Reid, a patient with suicidal tendencies, can hit a little too close to home for those who have attempted suicide or have a close friend who has. Good news: it's not her fault. Bad news: GUILT was causing it. It's also [[WhamEpisode the first time you get to see GUILT and its effects]]. Also, just consider: [[FridgeHorror how long were those strains of Kyriaki inside her, cutting her up from the inside]]?

* The final Episode of ''Under the Knife'' (not ''Second Opinion'') reveals that GUILT is cultivated inside [[spoiler:seven different children, all of which are labeled as "Sinners"; Adam's implication is that ''they'' are guilty of some sort of sin bad enough to deserve this fate.]] No wonder the BigBad is filed under CompleteMonster in the YMMV tab. In ''Under the Knife 2'', we find out that such biological atrocities [[spoiler:run in the family: Heinrich does the same with his own children.]]

* Just take a moment to think about what GUILT and Stigma do to you. And there's a lot more where that came from.

** In ''Under the Knife 2''[='=]s final operation, [[spoiler:the BigBad has rigged the room to [[TakingYouWithMe infect everyone inside with Neo-GUILT if she dies]]. Oh, and she has to be operated on, because she is infected with [[FinalExamBoss Aletheia]]. ''And'' the operation has several ways of knocking out a large fraction of her vitals or outright killing her if you make certain mistakes. Good luck.]]

* Doctor Stylllllllllllles....

* In earlier operations, if you fail an operation, another doctor will simply take over for you, securing the patient's life. However, in later operations, whoever you're playing as is often the only doctor capable of dealing with whatever is inside the patient, which means if your patient's vitals hit 0 (or you [[TimedMission run out of time]]), your patient will outright '''die.'''
