If you think only the military uses video games as training / skill building tools - you'd be VERY wrong. You don't EVER want to go up against any of my docs in a game of Xbox, Playstation 2, or Nintendo. Only my 8 year old nephew can take these guys on.

We use the da Vinci Surgical System which consists of a surgeon's console, a patient-side cart, a high performance vision system and additional instruments. Using the da Vinci Surgical System, the surgeon operates while seated comfortably at a console viewing a three-dimensional image of the surgical field. The surgeons' fingers grasp the instrument controls below the display with wrists naturally positioned relative to his or her eyes. The technology seamlessly translates the surgeon's movements into precise, real-time movements of the surgical instruments inside the patient.
