Following on this earlier post about video games being used as anesthetia for young patients, several of my surgeon friends, nephews, and my two sons are going to enjoy this latest finding:
Surgeons who play video games three hours a week have 37 percent fewer errors and accomplish tasks 27 percent faster, . . [based on] observation on results of tests using the video game Super Monkey Ball.
Link hat tip to Tyler Cowen, who hilariously suggests that maybe the surgeons and the patients could play each other?
I came across your site by typing ‘happy holidays’ in Google. This post is from a year ago, I’m not sure if you’ll get this, so I might be rambling to myself. In any case, this video game post was really interesting!
