BioWare - Hippocratic Game Design

Hippocratic Game Design is the title of an interview with the BioWare doctors at The Escapist on their history as medical doctors and how they got into the game business:

Medicine and game development were never really separate career phases for the BioWare founders, though. Instead, their two professions progressed in tandem, playing separate and equally important roles in the company that developed into BioWare. In medical school, seeing a gap in the educational software available to doctors, Zeschuk and Muzyka developed two pieces of software to use for training purposes, one of which was, as Zeschuk is quick to note with amusement, "the highly regarded Gastroenterology Patient Simulator." After they became doctors, their salaries largely went towards getting the nascent BioWare up and running.
