Performing Open Heart Surgery - A Virtual Experience

An Australian News Channel featured on its website a link to a "virtual" game in which the player performs Open Heart surgery. Is it really a game? Numerous gaming websites and blogs have posted the Virtual Open Heart Surgery link to attract gamers who have enjoyed various virtual experiences such as Nintendo Wii Trauma Center and Ed Head's Knee Surgery Game

It is interesting that on a more serious note, virtual heart surgery was designed as a fairly new tool for training in complex heart surgeries. It is a surgical simulator which helps doctors to perform surgery in a virtual environment.

Here's a link to Virtual Open Heart Surgery. The site gives a warning: Not for the Faint Hearted. So Good luck and report back your Virtual Experience!
