Videogames And Surgery - Fine Bedfellows?
Thanks to GamerDad for their editorial discussing why playing videogames can make you a better doctor. The author, a medical man and long-time gamer, found "...that when learning how to perform laparoscopic surgery, that it seemed to come relatively easy for me", explaining laparoscopy is "...operating by watching the instruments on a television screen. You are not able to look down at your hands because you need to keep your eyes on the screen." He credits games as "honing my hand-eye coordination", and concludes: "In my professional opinion, growing up in the age of video games has helped me to learn how to perform laparoscopic surgery more easily and quickly." Which careers are you better-suited for through your use of videogames?
HEH HEH HEEEH. So we were sitting on the patio in... where was it Arthur? Cancun? Anywho... there were these girls there and I was like, "Hello ladies," and they were all giggly. I think it was the pina coladas that was making them a bit tipsy. But I was like, "Do you know who I am?" And they just giggled at me. I got a mirror out of my valet kit that was under my lounge chair and I used a little comb to straighten my moustache. They kept on giggling at me. They must have thought I was quite attractive, because, well... I am. I'm Barry Williams, formerly of the hit Sherwood Schwartz show, "The Brady Bunch." AnyWHO, I was nodding my head and doing my sexy karate poses and they just kept giggling at me and I was like, "I am mister cool. I am Bruce Lee. You want me," because, well, they did of course. And they just kept giggling at me. That's when I noticed that my Speedos had fallen off.
Since I've started doing lunges at the gym, Mrs. Dancin Santa has become happier and more sexually satisfied.
I'm going to kill the elf who's been fucking her while I'm at the gym.
It's been seven hours and fifteen days Since you took your love away I go out every night and sleep all day Since you took your love away Since you been gone I can do whatever I want I can see whomever I choose I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant But nothing I said nothing can take away these blues 'Cause nothing compares Nothing compares to you It's been so lonely without you here Like a bird without a song Nohing can stop these lonely tears from falling Tell me baby where did I go wrong I could put my arms around every boy I see But they'd only remind me of you I went to the doctor guess what he told me Guess what he told me He said girl you better try to have fun No matter what you do But he's a fool 'Cause nothing compares Nothing compares to you All the flowers that you planted, mama In the back yard All died when you went away I know that living with you baby was sometimes hard But I'm willing to give it another try 'Cause nothing compares Nothing compares to you Nothing compares Nothing compares to you Nothing compares Nothing compares to you .
