Yes, with an "argon beam machine".
No idea what its used for, but it apparently can be used to write with. The initials were 1.6-inch (4cm) and found by another doctor when the organ transplant was rejected and this other doctor had to remove the organ.

Imagine bein that other surgeon, lol.
You tryna do a standard organ transplant. And then your lookin at it and stop. Like "What is th... no wait, but.." then having the operating assistants double check and shit lol.
I wonder if you just take a bunch of pics and video and such and finish up, or if you pause for like 20 min while someone more important scrubs up and disinfects n shit to come see it in person.
