1806We, as gamers, have long known that video games are not bad for us. In fact, we have all benefited from them in one way or another. But no one listened... until now!

Thanks to a study by Beth Israel Medical Center in New York City, we can now say that video games can actually SAVE lives by helping to improve the hand eye coordination of surgeons who play prior to surgery. Next time you need to go in for that triple bypass, look for the doctor wearing the "I ownz j00" t-shirt and feel rest assured that you are in the hands of a consumate professional.

You can read more about the enlightening study here (http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20060524/sc_nm/videogames_dc).

Hehe, very cool. It reminds me of scrubs - there was a few jokes about Kelso playing Pacman to keep up his dexterity in one of the episodes. :p

I'd just want to make sure that the doctor hadn't been pwned just before surgery.

Ha...Beth Israel is where my Mother decided to eject me from her stomach. Great hospital...even more now. :D
