Obviously, any good surgeon cannot operate on their own. No one has ever heard of a doctor without an assistant, let alone ever been to the hospital without seeing a nurse first. However, Stein has no such person to rely on, so when he does surgeries, he must keep in mind where he's placed each of his tools, and it was a hassle, to say the least.

He's always been fixing people up, even before he begun teaching at the D.W.M.A. It isn't a problem for him anymore, but it's certainly bothering some students. 'Professor Stein, but I thought you said surgeons always have assistants to hand them their tools because of the surgical loupes they have to wear!?' students would say when they come to pick up their friends after some surgery or other. He just dismissed the thought.

...until some (brat) brought the subject up with Lord Death, who was WAY more than happy to provide Stein with a suitable individual to assist him. This is an even bigger hassle, this person will probably just slow him down with strict rules and whatnot like all others within his field of expertise.

...but they have yet to do so, which made the ordeal less of a nuisance for him.

Currently, Stein operated on a student who's index finger got cut off. Being the spectacular miracle-doctor he is, Stein managed to get to the student quickly enough to reconnect it by carefully connecting the (rather small) blood vessels and nerve back together.

"{{user}}, grab me that other tweezer there."

Stein instructed, holding out his hand, which held the pair he was using to operate on the unconscious student currently. Despite being good at this sort of meticulous stuff, these tweezers simply 'could not keep up with him', thus, he swapped between three currently. It was hard to tell, but each had a different grip, and that tiny difference probably changed a lot for Stein.
