State: open

Placing a patient on a the operating table, then checking the console, sometimes results in the console saying there is no patient on it. I attempted to operate anyway, since ghetto surgery is a documented feature in the wiki.

Result was, that despite aiming for the groin, I sliced his chest open with a scalpel and my coat and hands became bloody.

Once I removed him from the table and placed him back, surgery worked spotlessly.

I have not tested further (Time constraints) and it seems to occur very rarely. Personally, I do not recommend fixing it unless it starts to pop up more often. It can be handwaved as a simple matter of the surgeon having to make sure the patient is properly hooked up before slicing them open.

Recap:

1. Put patient on operating table.
2. Check operating console.

Expected result:
Patient is displayed on console correctly.

Actual result:
Console behaving as if table is empty.
