The latest wave of video game technology is doing much more than keeping teenagers entertained … it's preparing doctors for the operating room.
Surgical resident Jeff Henke is playing games … in hopes of becoming a better surgeon.
"This isn't exactly what I pictured when I thought of medical school."
Those control sticks on the Nintendo wii are actually probes … the same kind he'll use in the operating room.
"This does really help. It kind of coordinates your hand movements, gets you prepared to go into the operating room and perform laparoscopic surgery."
Doctors had to make a few adjustments to turn the wii accessories into surgical tools.
"We took the golf club out and actually put this — a laparoscopic probe — on it."
Using these cyber gloves to record and measure hand movements, bioinformatics expert Doctor Kanav Kahol made a discovery … the coordination used to play the games is similar to what's needed in laparoscopic or minimally invasive surgery.

India has the second largest population of the world at 1.1Billion. Their economy is growing really fast second only to China in Asia. Yet the medal counts at the Olympic games are terrible at best. Not to mention any other sport events (beside cricket and golf). I have many Indian friends in H.S. College and at work. They are perfectly fit and love sports. I totally believe they are capable. Why don't Indians go for more medals or invest in more training?

I'm interested in local night life, golfing, maybe fishing. Do the Sox ever have any fan events to meet players? How about in Ft Myers? Thanks for your help.
