You get to play surgeon for an open-heart surgery. This takes you through heart anatomy, so you can prepare for surgery, then you go from prep all the way through post-op (and you're timed).

I haven't gone too far in this game. I remember playing the simple board game 'operation' which really had no medical value!
Can you imagine your doctors learning and practicing by performing virtual surgeries? The more practice the better....I just hope no one gets the idea that they can perform surgery because they did it in a video game!!!
I love the disclaimer with this game:

"In case of real medical emergency, do not perform any of these operations or use this game as a guide. Seek professional help immediately."
The Nintendo Wii also has a surgery game called 'Trauma Center'.
