The original title (preserved for posterity in my RSS reader) was "Does screen time really affect medical students' surgery skills?" I guess the answer was "yes". Trainee surgeon Saied Froghi "is one of a number of doctors and health professionals who disagree with a professor of surgery who claims medical students are losing manual dexterity because they are spending too much time 'swiping'. In fact, video games can improve your manual dexterity, sharpen your reaction time, and train you to focus on specific tasks, they say." It would be nice to have evidence one way or another.
