Two doctor series. Both from Japan. Trauma Center, you know and love. And Kenshuui Tendo Dokuta, well, that DS title you might not be familiar with. Retitled as "Lifesigns: Surgical, the game is coming to North American via publisher Dreamcatcher this June. The game's producer Jay Podilchuk explains how it's different from Trauma Center:

You can't possibly imagine how many times I have answered this question over the last couple of months!

...I would have to say that the most noticeable difference between the games is the storyline and adventure aspect of Lifesigns. Each mission you are presented with is tied together seamlessly by a great story which adds context to the operations you perform and people you interact with. Lifesigns really bridges the gap between being a medical simulation style game like TC and full on interactive adventure title... which is something we know a little about ;)

And like that, the point is DRIVEN home with a winking smiley face. Brian Ashcraft
