Gamers make better surgeons

Someone has finally found something good about playing video games for hours on end. Engadget reports that surgeons who relax by playing video games are better at what they do in the operating room. The improvement, unsurprisingly, is most noticeable when performong laproscopic surgery, where they manipulate tiny tools while watching a video screen. It is hardly worth getting excited about it though. Other recent studies of kids addicted to video games show that they perform less well in school, among other problems, meaning that video-addled kids won't have the grades to get into medical school in the first place, so they will never be able to put the great eye-hand coordination to good use.
