Recently, I've just beaten the last chapters of Trauma Center: NB, and I have to say, the special EX Missions you unlock after completing the main story are by far the most evil creations in the Medicine-Based games ever.
In the main storyline of the game, it allows you to choose the difficulty of the operations from Easy to Hard. After beating the game on the first two settings, I assumed I had the skills to at least make it through one of the EX missions with a horrible grade.
I was wrong. Very wrong.
The difficulty setting on all of the EX missions is Extreme, which apparently means having just one partner to assist you is not enough unless you can just kill stigma with your mind. The very first EX mode surgery is most likely the most challenging, just like in previous TC games where the Kyriaki were easily the most mind-numbingly impossible things to kill without your patients' vitals plummeting within the first few seconds of attempting treatment.
I thought I had enough hours into playing the game to finish EX1, but with only one use of the Healing Touch ability per surgery, it seems like I'll never be able to win. :|
Anyone who can beat these hellish missions without punching a hole in the wall with a wiimote, I bow to you.

I don't so much find them unfair, but I do think it would be much easier to beat them if I had about six other assistants in the surgeries. The only one I've heard is worse than the Kyriaki-esque Stigma is Cardia, the EX7 mission. We need to find a way to kill these mofos.
And yes I did beat them, with S-Ranks, Trauma Center is love.
There's only brutally hard X operations, that's X5 and X7, X5 because you need the reflexes of a god to catch all the little things that cause the cuts, X7 because its luck based.
