A study found that surgeons are quicker and more successful at completing a buzz wire game compared to other hospital staff, with surgeons completing the game within five minutes in 84% of cases. Surgeons were also more likely to swear during the task, while nurses and non-clinical staff showed higher rates of frustration noises. The study highlighted the diverse skill sets across hospital staff roles, suggesting that surgical swear jars could be considered for fundraising events. The researchers compared the manual dexterity and composure under pressure of 254 staff at an NHS hospital trust using a buzz wire game.
