Surgeons who game are more skilled

Surgeons who game more skilled Playing video games appears to help surgeons with skills that truly count: how well they operate using a precise technique. Apparently, there was a strong correlation between video game skills and a surgeon’s capabilities performing laparoscopic surgery in the study published in the February issue of Archives of Surgery.

Laparoscopy and related surgeries involve manipulating instruments through a small incision or body opening where the surgeon’s movements are guided by watching a television screen.

    Wow, interesting. I wonder how parents will react when many of them say that video game violence does no good.

    So if anyone wants to be a good doctor, they have to be the best shooters in games? lol.
