Video games make surgeons faster, more accurate.

I knew there would be some benefit to my having put 120 hours into Dragon Quest VIII. Now all I need is 10 years of medical school and a surgery practice. From Raw Story:

Playing video games improves manual dexterity among surgeons, making them faster and less likely to make mistakes, US researchers have said.

[...] Laparoscopic surgeons who played video games were 27 percent faster at advanced surgical procedures, and made 37 percent fewer errors, compared to their non-gaming colleagues, the study found.

Presumably, the laparoscopic surgeons also became better at carjacking and killing hookers.
