Wii heals the world
Pagster \| 7:57 AM on 02.25.2008	4 comments

Is there nothing nintendo's little white box cant do? (apart from compete graphically with its main rivals of course)
It seems not as now the little box that could can now help heal burns victims amonst other things.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/7262552.stm

From the site-

"The Wii has already been used at a Manchester hospital in the rehabilitation of a boy who suffered burns after being struck by lightning.

Its healing properties have also been touted for stroke victims: in the US and Germany, it has been used in several clinics to help patients regain movement in their arms and legs.

Most recently, it has made an appearance in a Welsh care home as a way of keeping residents physically and mentally active"

See games arnt just murder simulators after all.
