Trauma Center 2 has a storyline
Yeah, we know that all the other ones did too, but all we ever remember of the story for any Trauma Center game is "surgery happens." Some guys perform surgery on some other people, because they are sick or injured. Trauma Center 2 is no exception: Atlus has gone to the trouble of crafting a narrative for the surgery game, and we guarantee it'll stick in our minds as "a guy gets glass in his leg for some reason."
This latest entry takes place in a refugee camp in an African country called Costiga, where a civil war and an outbreak of disease have led to an overload of patients and a shortage of doctors. Derek Stiles and his nurse Angie Thompson are in the area doing research, and are contacted by a young surgeon named, uh, Adel Chilba (or something like that) to help. Or at least that's how we understand it based on the translation. The point is (and remains): surgery happens.

Bah, I was hoping for a Trauma Centre game with a M*A*S*H theme. How good would puns and wordplay be during surgery, and funny cutscenes with all the old favs...

I hope it doesn't JUST take place in the little village, considering how you actually got to travel around in the original game(s) (I know, I know, for all the difference it made to the game-play...)
I still think, though, that the new wonder-disease should be called "DRAMA." I mean, remember how fun it was to have them screaming "Oh my god! It's GUILT!" or "He can't take so much GUILT! The GUILT is killing him!" (alright, so they probably never say exactly that, but they do get close sometimes)?
Now imagine if, given the way this game is written, you had Nurse Angie shouting "Oh my god, this DRAMA is killing him!" I wouldn't be able to finish, because I couldn't start the operation without laughing uncontrollably!
i even came up with a medical-babble acronym for DRAMA back when I played New Blood, though I have since forgotten it.

It's "Adele Chiluba".
