There were several studies done in the early day of video games (when the games still required a “joystick”) that showed that puzzle games such as Tetris helped with eye / hand coordination
I wonder if the PTSD thing still works if they play the “Monty Python quest for the Holy Grail” video game that has a tetris-like game called “Drop Dead” where corpses are dropped in tetris shapes while a voice claims “I’m not dead”, “I feel fine”, “I feel happy”.
Maybe the music to the original that becomes an embedded earworm is part of the therapy
At least the doctors can work on their reflexes playing the whack-a-mole like game “Spank the Virgin”
Yes, but exactly what types of surgery do game-players excel at? Arrow extraction, post-mace reconstruction, lance run-throughs? Complete disintegration from explosives?
The relevant question is how common are game-injury surgeries?

RN pilots used to claim they needed to play computer games to improve their hand-eye co-ordination. I suppose it could be true of surgeons too.
