Play Games? Try Becoming a Surgeon
By: Avinash Bali   |   May 28,2006
The next time you're looking out for a surgeon, you may want to ask him his rank in Burnout Revenge or how good he is at Halo, instead of merely looking at his qualifications or experience. Ok, that last part was exaggerated a bit (you definitely don't want a quack cutting you up), but the statement does hold ground as surgeons that game, seem to have faster reflexes and are relatively quicker than their non-gaming peers.

In a study conducted by the Beth Israel Medical Center (NYC) and the National Institute on Media and the Family, around 300 surgeons were put to the test and were asked to perform certain complex procedures. Surgeons that gamed, finished this test 11 seconds before those who didn't.

"If we can use something cheap and over-the-counter like videogames to help surgeons, then we should be motivated to discover what we should use and how we should use it," said Dr. James Rosser, who by the way is a major Halo 2 fan.

I hope the results of this study are shoved down the throats of all those who think video-games are evil and spawn madmen capable of annihilating the human race.
