Now this has to be one of the weirdest things I've read in a long time.

Apparently, 20 minutes of "gaming" for surgeons before operating, increases their speed and helps them make less mistakes.
303 tests were made, the average was a performance increase of 11 seconds and less errors during surgery.

I wonder who got the idea for this experiment..

Great for my future career!! Ah...Half Life 2...killing aliens and all...then bang...dissect a dude...

Picture this....

You're in the OR being prepped for surgery and you're waiting for the surgeon to show up. He than bursts through the doors all worked up and bragging to everyone that he just had a fantastic game on Halo and that he just kicked everyone's asses.


Or....

He's depressed after a couple games, and admits that he sucks at video games and couldn't get any kills.

Do you still want him to cut you open?

Or, you are in the OR waiting for the doc and you can here gunfire and the doctors voice saying "yeah! take that!".
