credit: joystiq.com This shouldn't be news to any of you who've played Trauma Center: Under the Knife on the DS. You've already spent hours perfecting your surgical technique and could, undoubtedly, cut open a human body, repair it, and sew it back up with that training. A new study conducted by the Beth Israel Medical Center has found that doctors who played video games immediately before a laparoscopic surgery drill finished quicker, implying they made fewer errors. The findings coincide with an earlier study that found that doctors who grew up playing video games "tended to be more efficient and less error-prone" when tested in similar drills. |

to be honest the only thing i liked about trauma center was the fact i got to use a scalpal but this thing about the real thing cant be true well mainly beacause you have to cut so deep and things like that and playing a touch screen game cant emulate that so i don't think it is all true stuff that they were saying. | |

On the PC Gamer Podcast they had an actual gamer surgeon called in. He said it has to do with remember combinations(like weapons and maps in Quake) and also it needs good hand eye coordination which gamers have. | |
