Not my usual place for gaming news but I found this interesting piece in the MTV News archives. The short news piece argues the case that gamers make better surgeons. Here's a snippet:
Doctors who spend at least three hours a week playing video games make better surgeons, according to a report by researchers at New York's Beth Israel Medical Center and the National Institute on Media and the Family.Specifically in laparoscopic surgery, which involves controlling very small cameras and tools inside the body with joysticks and a video monitor, gamers are more precise, making about 37 percent fewer mistakes, and work about 27 percent faster than their non-game-savvy peers.
So the next time someone calls you a geek for playing computer games just inform them your training to be a surgeon.
