Music in the OR
It might be surprising, but some surgeons like music as they work. Perhaps in the same way coffeshop noise or a background tune facilitates studying, surgeons will have their iPhone playlist or Pandora recommendations all set up. As an anesthesiologist, I get to listen to a pretty eclectic collection as I work with different teams; I've had a surgeon listen to opera and classical music to Top 40 to classic rock to country. In any case, someday I will come up with a list of songs that match the different stages of surgery. As the surgeons begin suturing the incision and finishing up, we'd end with Semisonic's "Closing Time."
