Wii gets another use in the medical field

Postby Thoul » Fri Jan 18, '08, 7:44 am

You've probably seen or heard the stories about the Wii being used in medicine, for things like physical therapy and so on. Well, now there's a new study that claims the Wii makes a good warm up and practice tool for surgeons. Here's the article:

So, if you have a surgery in the next few years, it might be worth your while to ask the doctors to play some Wii before your appointment. ;)

I say, it makes no sense. What if the surgeon loses and is in a really bad mood. Not so lucky then are ya!
Everything has a pattern. Something set. Even random things. They aren't random at all, its complex mathematics. The trick is to find the pattern. Then you can exploit it.

People think things have a certain end. Taxes. Work. Due dates don't really exist. Trust me. When you put a band of world scholars in the same room, and set them on talking about anything, the most interesting topics come up. The existence of negative time. The probability of "random occurrence". The government's involvement in the media. And falsified due dates. They aren't real, trust me....
