Surgeon Gamerz Pwnz!

Another study has confirmed that surgeons who play video games perform precision operations better than surgeons without skillz. This shouldn't be surprising, since any non-invasive procedure involves looking at a monitor while moving a scope around with control pads. That amounts to playing a first person shooter with better graphics, but not as many explosions. Fighter pilots and racecar drivers already spend lots of time on computer simulators, so why not surgeons who specialize in laparoscopic surgery? I can see it now: scopes equipped with tiny lasers taking out cancer cells...



Die Mutant Cyborg, er Cancer Cell, die!
