ON THE CUTTING EDGE: Who Says Videogames Are Timewasters?
When Paxton Galvanek witnessed an SUV flip and roll on a NC highway he knew just what to do when he saw that one of the accident victims was bleeding profusely from the loss of several fingers on his hand: he used a towel as a dressing and asked the man to hold the towel on his wound and to raise his hand above his head. Galvanek – who is not a doctor or a paramedic - was then able to attend to the man’s head wound. He learned these lifesaving skills while playing America's Army, a videogame developed by the U.S. Army as a recruitment tool.
