A report by Polygon reveals that doctors are beginning to use video games to prepare themselves for surgery. Doctors at Florida Hospital Celebration Health are playing the GameCube classic Super Monkey Ball 2 not long before their first incision, citing research that shows the doctors become “more efficient” and are able to “suppress errors” if video games are played before they perform surgery. The hospital has even set up an area in the physician’s lounge that houses some ready-to-play games for the good doctors. No word yet on whether the sword-wielding gameplay of Skyward Sword increases the surgeons’ precision with a blade.
