S-T Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 Study: Video games can help cut surgical errors Wednesday, May 24, 2006; Posted: 10:04 a.m. EDT (14:04 GMT) LOS ANGELES, California (Reuters) -- A new study suggests that people preparing for surgery ask their doctor: "Have you played your video games today?" Surgeons who warmed up by playing video games like "Super Monkey Ball" for 20 minutes immediately prior to performing surgical drills were faster and made fewer errors than those who did not, said Dr. James "Butch" Rosser, lead investigator on the study slated for release Wednesday. The research involved 303 surgeons participating in a medical training course that included video games and was focused on laparoscopic surgical procedures -- which use a tiny video camera and long, slender instruments inserted through small incisions. http://www.cnn.com/2006/TECH/fun.games/05/...reut/index.html :laugh: :happy: :urock: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
