Post-GUILT Syndrome

From Caduceus Database

Three years after the GUILT outbreak, many GUILT victims that were operated on start to show some symptoms, and as these have some common characteristics, such as producing toxicosis in the organ, it's given a name: Post-GUILT Syndrome.

[edit] Common characteristics of PGS

[edit] Toxicosis

PGS will make the organ suffer from toxicosis, which means that the stabilizer won't work, along with causing vitals to drop gradually. At the start of the first PGS operation, Victor Niguel will give you a sedative, and injecting it in the organ will temporarily heal the toxicosis. The only way to completely cure the toxicosis is to cure the PGS.

[edit] A PGS for each GUILT

Each GUILT strain will leave a different PGS type, with different treatment procedures.

[edit] Types of PGS

There are currently 4 types of PGS that have been attributed to a certain GUILT archetype.

Kyriaki

Tumors will be in the organ, which will cause it to periodically produce pools of pus. If the pus is left alone for too long, it will produce inflammations, which are treated using the blue fluid with the syringe. The procedure for the removal of the tumors is identical to that of normal tumors, but the only difference is that after using the forceps to remove the excised tumor, a pool of pus will form in the wound and it must be removed with the drain before placing a synthetic membrane.

Triti

Remnants of the spikes of Triti will be buried in the organ. The spikes must be removed by draining the pool of blood over the incision point, incising along the incision point, draining the blood pool that forms, removing the spike with the forceps, draining the blood pool that forms (again), and either suturing the wound or placing a synthetic membrane. The one surgery that this form of PGS is encountered in has no stabilizer and a limited supply of antibiotic gel, so it is imperative that the first process for sealing the wound is used when the supply of antibiotic gel reaches the yellow zone, or there will not be enough gel to to clean the sutured opening at the end of the operation.

Pempti

Hepatitis will have occured on the liver, and the result is a large fissure on the organ. To treat the wound, the pools of blood must be drained from the fissure, synthetic membranes must be placed in the correct positions, and must be covered with antibiotic gel before the wound starts bleeding again. Immediately after successfully competing the process, all patches fall off. This is due to the fact that there are hemorrhages underneath the surface of the organ. To get rid of the hemorrhages, use the ultrasound to locate, create an incision with the scalpel, drain the blood pool, and suture the incision. After all hemorrhages are taken care of, the process used to take care of the fissure before the hemorrhages is repeated.

Savato

See Also: Post-Savato.

Mutated tumors will appear on the heart. Drain the tumors, cut them out, and extract them only when they are blue. Otherwise, gas will be released. Once extracted, the tumor will leave a scar. Once done, an accelerated tumor will appear. You must use healing touch to slow it down before extracting it.

Other types of PGS

There are a few other variations of PGS that have not been identified to be caused by a certain strain of GUILT. These include:

• The regenerating "super-tumors" that appear in Trauma Center: Under the Knife 2, Second Opinion and New Blood
• An extreme number of tumors located in the stomach (usually 7-13)  

It can be predicted that one of these types may be caused by a past infection of Deftera, since Deftera generally attacks the stomach.
