You know what would be awesome? Let's start with that mission from New Blood that Slither and I loved so much....you know, the "liver has a bunch of bleeding squares, draining a square makes it dry for about six seconds (I timed!), trying to put a patch on a non-dry square is a MISS and vital damage, patching a dry square and having the six seconds expire makes the patch fall off as it becomes bleeding again, and the only way past this is to get every single square simultaneously dry and patched and gelled before any of them reopen" one. Then, just to make it fun, let's make you do it twice so you have to be able to do at least one of them legitimately since you only get one Healing Touch per operation, add a bunch of hemorrhages that do obscene damage when cut (which is how you are supposed to treat them) the second time, and throw in in random toxicosis and fibrillation!!
Oh, and naturally, all the special operation bonuses are for things like not letting the patches fall off or letting the patient go into fibrillation too many times or things I totally have complete control over like that.
Amazingly, my "get an A on everything on Hard" quest has still not been derailed, even by this. (I even got an S on the corrosive-poison-in-the-throat one right before this, but getting an A on Sinner is actually more impressive to me.) I want to say that if getting an A on Sinner (which was more or less a luck-based mission) didn't stop me then nothing will at this point, but I am fully aware of the folly of saying things like that when I still haven't seen the sentient zombie cancer still arise to do one-on-one scalpel swordfighting with me in the middle of an operation yet.
Edit: Okay, so, in this XS run (which I would suspect of being tool-assisted were he not visibly filming a DS and stylus in real life, so instead I'll suspect him of being a Terminator or some sort of robot from the future like that,) it turns out the special bonuses are standard no misses/max chain/do it obscenely fast plus not letting patches fall off, nothing about fibrillation. On the other hand, that's such a strict time bonus and fibrillation takes so long to resolve that there's pretty much no way to get it if it happens at all anyway.
