- My name is Alissa.

I am actually a recent graduate from veterinary school.

- I'm Wenjay Sung. I am a foot and ankle surgeon.

- My name is Courtney Campbell.

I'm a veterinarian that specializes

in surgery in Santa Barbara.

- I haven't played "Operation" probably

since the early 80's.

- I don't remember if I ever played. I know the game.

- I've never played" Operation" so I have no idea

how this is gonna go.

- I didn't come here to make friends.

You know the game's not called "Operation Friends."

- When you're doing surgery you need to be confident,

you need to go for it, and if you bump something

along the way, you fix your mistakes.

- I am very competitive.

I am going to destroy everybody else.

Do you guys know how to play this game actually?

- No.

- One thing you don't want to do in surgery is just wing it.

- Apparently this is Sam.

- [Courtney] Okay, hi Sam. Hello.

Repair Sam's heart and charge your fee.

He'll thank you most wholeheartedly.

I just made that infinitely more difficult.

- Exactly.

- You have to have a steady hand.

- [Courtney] Butterflies in stomach.

- I think this game is actually impossible. Or not.

- Alright.

- Well done.

Student loans.

- Yes, student loans.

- This goes to salary, mate. Thank you very much.

- So now we've got the wishbone.

- [Alissa] So when we played this as a kid

this is how I learned anatomy.

- So the wishbone's connected to the thighbone.

Amazing. Nice job.

- Can I get knuckles on it?

- [Alissa] Water on the knee.

- She's on the board. [crosstalk]

- I want to thank my fellow surgeons.

- [Courtney] Funny bone.

There's nothing funny about this.

- [Wenjay] I wish I didn't like you guys so much,

but your skills aren't that great, so it's alright.

- [Courtney] Oh man, wow, you just went there.

(buzzer)

(inaudible)

(buzzer)

- So close. - [Courtney] So close.

Except it wasn't.

- Oh my goodness, it's just getting easier

and easier for you.

- [Alissa] Too much ice cream froze Sam's brain.

- I believe that's facial nerve apraxia there.

- You just nerded out right there.

- I couldn't help it, I couldn't help it.

- Oh wow.

- Six hundred dollars, please.

- Wow.

- [Wenjay] Stretch your leg from peg to peg

and you will heal Sam's aching leg.

This is actually really hard.

(buzzer)

- Oh.

- I've been working up toward this my entire life.

(buzzer)

That was intense.

- It screamed at you this time.

(buzzer) - [Wenjay] Oh.

- Everybody's holding their breath.

- Yes. - [Alissa] Oh.

Money pours from the ceiling.

Nice job. Bang your fists on that. Nice job.

- Let's count the money. Like all good doctors, we gotta.

- That's what we do at the end of the day, right?

(cheers)

- How did you get 2,800 dollars?

- I'm really good.

- Formidable opponents, but I think one of them cheated.

She was born with slender fingers.

And the other one cheated because I think

he's been practicing all week.

- That was a really stupid game.

- Well this was a great game.

I would highly recommend this to adults, not to children.

Children should never play this. Adults get the benefit.

- If kids want to be surgeons, just play Xbox.

- Look at his face. [Alissa] He's horrified.

- He is horrified.

- [Alissa] I think he's mainly horrified though,

because he's not under anesthesia.
