Injector

The injector is a recurring tool in the Amateur Surgeon series. It is used to give a patient injections, which mainly restore health or extract poison.

Amateur Surgeon 2

The injector was introduced in this game to replace the corkscrew that many fans didn't like. To use it, player needs to hold down the left mouse button and follow the line. If unsuccessful, a small cut will be created. The injector is used during Vladimir Ampire's surgery to inflate the bats and to blind the monster in Dwayne Pipe's surgery. When upgraded, the injector restores more health. The line to be followed also gets simpler.

Amateur Surgeon 3

The injector comes back in this game. Unlike the previous game, the player needs to specify if the injector should insert liquid or extract. The former also gets a cooldown. The player no longer needs to follow a line. Instead, he/she must simply hold and drag slowly to inject. Dragging too fast or dragging backwards will harm the patient.

Trivia

• There is no limit to the amount the player can add to the patient's heart rate. However, if the games ran on real-life physics, boosting the patient's heart rate too much would likely cause the patient to die of cardiac arrest.
• When using the injector to extract poison in Amateur Surgeon 3, in some cases it may be more expedient to use the pizza cutter and vacuum. This method also earns more points, which can be helpful in bonus surgeries wherein the player is required to earn a certain number of points.
