From Animorphs #29: "The Sickness," chapter 26, pp. 139 to 140 (Cassie's point of view):

"Thanks." I picked up the scalpel and positioned it to one side of the spot Aftran had described. Then I made a straight cut about four inches long. I could feel the metal blade scraping the bone of Ax's skull.

But that was good. That's how deep I needed to go. I needed to peel back a flap of skin so I could work on the bone.

A line of blue-black blood appeared. My stomach did a flip-flop. I swallowed hard and made a cut that was perpendicular to the first, again about four inches long.

"Hemostat!" I snapped.


Bleh. I actually had trouble reading some of this scene. I can't stand medical stuff. I wonder if I had trouble with that scene when I was younger? I don't remember being bothered.
