The Healing Touch is a form of Kaioken.
It increases reaction time, it wears out the user, it doesn't last very long, and (under special circumstances) it can be stacked on top of itself for greater effect. The only difference I've seen is that the Healing Touch doesn't seem to increase strength— though, being a doctor, maybe Derek just doesn't need the extra strength.
The Healing Touch affects men and women differently.
(Note: I haven't played Under the Knife 2). All the men we've seen with the Healing Touch - Derek Stiles, Markus Vaughn, and Leo Bello - that we've seen using the Touch have all manifested their ability as a form of Bullet Time, with the doctor's speed and reaction times skyrocketing. On the other hand, the women we've seen using it both manifest unique powers (Naomi Kimishama's vital raising, Valerie Blaylock's vital lock).
"Judgement Day", the music that plays behind Savato operations in Under the Knife, is an extract of a "Requiem for Man's Hubris" or something Adam had written or commissioned in an older style.
It fits the lyrics of Dies Irae way way way too well to be coincidental. Even That Other Wiki figures that the theme is a variation of Dies Irae.
The Healing Touch is a form of Hyper Mode resulting from Phazon corruption.
Think about the similarities in both Metroid Prime's Hyper Mode and Trauma Center's Healing Touch. In both instances, the color scheme of the power in question is bright blue, the power enhances the user's capabilities, the world around the user is tinged blue with floating particles, and overuse results in negative consequences. What if Healing Touch users were exposed to Phazon radiation sometime in their lives? What if Adam was right all this time, and this particular form of medicine is truly a poison to nature?
Anyone can use the Healing Touch
All the user needs is the right circumstances and it is possible, but it requires a lot of training to utilize the full potential and abilities of the Healing Touch, so not many can use it to begin with unless they mentally trained themselves to withstand the stress it places on their mind and body. Even Dr. Hoffman said it himself that your hands become heavy when you use it, there is a huge responsibility involved with such a power, that you control the fate of human lives that have been placed in your care.
The biological attack at Cumberland College that got CR-S01 convicted involved zombies
...what? Don't look at me like that!
It's an alternate way of bringing about YHVH's view of paradise: Kill everyone but those chosen by him with disease. This also means Adam really IS Abaddon, though in a human form. After all, YHVH used Abaddon in SMT2 to get rid of a town full of Mesians.
Tomoe and Hank's stories are symbolic.
Hank is a Bad Ass Normal, and Tomoe is the descendant of a respected family, with strong ties to their past. The superhero and ninja elements are simply how they view themselves.
The Rosalia virus colony in Naomi absorbed DNA from its vector, a Monarch butterfly.
And was trying to raise one itself, to spread the virus after Naomi's death. How else do you explain that thing in her heart?
The GUILT that merged with Twisted Rosalia was Pempti.
Based entirely on the way it harms the body; through the use of several, smaller iterations of itself which must be picked off one by one before attacking the core. Its being in the heart instead of the lung is attributed to Rosalia's adaptive properties, as well as the mutation that came when their DNA RNA merged.
Adam/Erich was a seemingly terminal patient in constant pain, which inspired him to make Delphi.
Given how much Adam loves talking about the gift of death and how doctors violate the natural order, it seems likely that he has some sort of personal grudge against them. But why would someone hold a grudge against doctors? Probably for refusing to let him die.
It seems likely that Erich was a wealthy Austrian businessman who came down with a debilitating, and incredibly painful, condition. (It didn't even have to strike him at a young age. He's 121 years old, it's feasible that it could have struck him in his old age. 50, 60, or even 70.) The pain was intense, and he wanted nothing more than to die, but the doctors refused to euthanise, and did all they could to keep him alive, even if he could do little more than suffer in agony.
Eventually, medicine advanced, and he was treated enough so that he could walk and interact with the world again, but the constant pain for many years drove him insane, so he decided that others will not suffer, and will be brought the mercy of death. His vendetta against doctors is due to blaming them for making him suffer for so long.
Heinrich was only a little boy who grew up seeing his grandfather in constant agony, and thus willingly joined Delphi when it was formed.
Neo-GUILT, especially Alethia, is a modified form of the T-Virus.
Alethia makes an eyeball grow on the heart. Out-of-place eyeballs growing on the body? Sounds like an awfully familiar symptom of another famous manufactured virus.
Resident Evil 5 takes place in 2009, while Trauma Center happens in 2018. While it's possible that Adam managed to obtain the research notes from Umbrella to design GUILT, it seems more likely that Mercer and Acropolis combined data from Umbrella Corporation with Delphi's data on GUILT to form Neo-GUILT, as there are more similarities. Then again, Adam was practically a zombie when you met him at the end of Trauma Center, and he says it's the GUILT that's keeping him alive. There's evidence either way.
Both viruses, though quite destructive to the host's health, do grant powers and abilities. Sure, there's a fair bit of difference between becoming a huge, massive, slavering, spiked monster and just being somewhat smarter, stronger, and quicker, but the similarities are there. Not to mention the above displaced eyeball growths.
Note as well that the final monsters in most Resident Evil games are beatable only when an ally tosses you a rocket launcher right before, or during, the battle. In Under The Knife 2, Aletheia is beatable when an ally gives you the recently developed antibiotic, right before the operation.
The antidote for the Rosalia virus was in CR-S01
Think about it, how else could someone survive the bioterrorist attack on Cumberland college? CR-S01 isn't the culprit, and the true one, his foster father Albert Sartre, seemed to have injected him with something what would save his life while CR-S01's consciousness was fading. Of course whether or not it could have been extracted from his blood in the first place is another question.
Your characters in Trauma Team commit suicide if they fail an operation.
Think about it, the tapes that play over the Game Over screen sound a lot like a suicide note.
The incident which caused Dr. Hoffmann to quit surgery was the death of Derek's father.
Well, it would fit together. According to the manual, Derek is 26 years old and the incident of Dr. Hoffmann happened 20 years ago. That comes from both the manual and the in-game info. Derek lost his father when he was a little boy, and he was 6 at the time of the incident. It just fits together quite well.
You play as a spirit who helps the doctors
Basically, you travel around, throughout all the games, and help out the doctors you come across, Derek being the first. The playing field itself is partially you advising the doctor on what to do, suggesting what tools to use, what areas to work on, ect. For those that have the Healing Touch, they help the doctors focus so they can call upon it and still last the operation. And eventually, you leave when the doctors no longer need your help. You came back in Trauma Center 2 because you were told that a new threat was approaching and Derek would need your help. You also helped out a lot in Trauma Team, Gabriel soon figuring you out and letting you help out without protest.
