Rachel McAdams finds stitching meditative

Rachel McAdams plays doctor in the latest Marvel release "Doctor Strange" and says she found practicing medical stitches meditative.
The 38-year-old actress plays Dr Christine Palmer opposite Benedict Cumberbatch as the titular character in the new Marvel adventure and she learned from real-life medics as part of her research for the role, reported Female First.
"My mum was a nursee and I just don't posess that gene so I was always fascinated. It's a job that takes so much guts. I shadowed a really great female neurosurgeon in Toronto and one in London, who taught me how to do stitches. It was very meditative, like knitting.

"When I was bored on set, I would just pull out my ... stitching wire. I don't even know what it's called, some doctor I am. But I would practise and it was great to jump into another world," McAdams said.
The actress said her favourite part of her career is that she gets a chance to explore different professions.
"I think it's the thing I love most about my job, that you get to live so many lives in one lifetime.
"I have a bit of ADD when it comes to things, so variety is the spice of life for me.
