The link between Super Monkey Ball and botch-free surgery is nothing new, but a recent study came up with some interesting facts and figures about the connection.
Reuters reports that surgeons who play Super Monkey Ball for 20 minutes prior to surgery were faster and made fewer errors than their gameless counter-parts.
The story looked at 303 surgeons and focused on laparoscopic procedures. The study found that the game helped surgeons complete their procedures 11 seconds faster.
The only side-effect was that one in seven surgeons would pump their lapariscopic surgical tools back into the incision after completing a procedure in record time to "make sure they got all of the bananas." Yeah, that's no good. —Brian Crecente
