Doctors and Golf....and Wii's

Okay--show of hands: How many of you agree that this sounds like doctors finding another way to squeeze in a little more golf?

"Wii Warmup" Good for Surgeons

I have great respect for the medical community, particularly the ones that wield sharp things and cut people open and stitch them shut again, but still....

Reading the article, one finds that the fine motor control and detail needed for the game translates to a lot of the non-invasive surgical techniques now being used. This, I do find relevant :) . I wonder if Nintendo has considering creating training games for medical schools--to be practiced on Wii's.
