Removing the Gallstones

This very special episode of The Infinite Escape Room is brought to you from Jamie's house in Wales...

...Or rather, Year 10 work experience at a local hospital! A somewhat universal experience for British kids.

Their surgeon mentor promptly injects himself with anaesthetic, collapses on the operating table, and leaves them locked in the surgery room with only one way out: perform a laparoscopic cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal) to escape.

It's only a puzzling podcast, we're not saving lives here. Or are we?
