Because they'd go into the OR bloody frustrated - that's why they arn't playing Trauma Center. That, or they'd be laughing too hard..

"maybe the Government should remove the ban of not allowing Doctors to mastibate over unconscious patients"

Surely that's unconstitutional? :)

So did they try other games or just this one?

*wonders what a game of AvP would do*

I dont think playing Trauma Center would have as good a result just by Monkey Ball being more 'reactive' and using smoother movements.

Trauma Center (on DS at least) more involves just aiming and clicking.

Wasn't this news on that BRAVO games show about 12 months ago,
including an interview with the surgeon who perfected the technique?
(who also cited Star Wars PodRacer and Silent Scope as good training for surgeons)

The other problem with using TC, is that they'd try to complete open heart sugery in 5 minutes without delegating any tasks to the nurse. All with the heart still active and beating.

So what happens if they play GTA3 beforehand?

Also, surely this is more a case of helping the sugeons relax than it is a case of their skills improving due to a warm-up.
