Recently, an article in the July issue of OXM (Official Xbox Magazine) states that those crafty Canadians are using the Kinect sensor to perform surgeries in Sunnybrook hospital in Toronto. According to the article in the Winnington Free Press, a Doctor by the name of Calvin Law spearheaded the implementation process. With his aid surgeons have succeeded using Kinect to call up medical documents mid surgery, thus cutting out the need to leave the operating room or scrub in after reviewing a patients medical records. This new method is said to even be cutting down the time in surgery by an hour in most cases. I don't know about you guys but personally I'm proud that video gaming has been able to contributed to something as profound as surgery. Now, if Dr. Law could only help me figure out if the plural form is pronounced moose or meese.
