Playlist for surgeons

Playlist with good music for surgeons and music they should avoid:

Silly, unnecessary article. I have worked as a surgical first assist (as a physician assistant) on many surgeries, in the fields of orthopedics, neurosurgery, general surgery, and bariatrics. There is only one rule in the OR: the surgeon controls everything in that room, including the music. He picks what he wants, if he wants to listen to Bloodrock's DOA, and he brings his CD, so be it. Good surgeons are hyperfocused in surgery and wouldn't be distracted by any kind of music (unless it is too loud, and in that case, there might be trouble communicating with circulating nurse, scrub tech, first assist, etc.).

 

Notably absent:

"I Have Been In You" - Frank Zappa

 

Most of the music I see in our operating rooms are classical, ambient, and new age. I've also seen a few alternative, country, and jazz CDs as well. I work in a religious-based non-profit hospital, so there are also guidelines for music that probably rule out funeral doom metal and the like, but yes, the surgeons are ultimately in control.

 

Velvet Underground - Lady Godiva's Operation?

Now come the moment of Great! Great! Decision!
The doctor is making his first incision
One goes here - one goes there
The ether tube's leaking says someone who's sloppy
The patient it seems is not so well sleeping
The screams echo up the hall

 

My colonoscopy was performed to the lovely strains of Metallica.

 

From Prince to Ozzy Osbourne ... almost anything you can hear on a surgery. When I was a resident and stayed with surgeons who could put almost any type of music. Today: Personally I prefer "the sound of silence" to overcome the critical part of the surgery. During the surgery: No Music ! I find it a source of distraction in a surgery ... so I prefer "silence" or classical music (as a viable alternative to low volume)

 

The First Cut Is The Deepest - Rod Stewart

 

I'd add "Didja Get Any Onya" as well.

 

Funny ...

 

See, now, THIS is what I hoped this thread would degenerate into.

 

Cuts Like A Knife...Bryan Adams

 

Crash Course In Brain Surgery - Budgie

 

Absolutely fascinating. I defy you to find another forum in the world where members can weigh in on this kind of subject

Personally from the patient side - whatever makes the surgeon happy, I'm all for it!

 

Only Women Bleed for hysterectomies.

Okay, I'll stop.

 

I was in the room when my middle son was born and Mother by Pink Floyd was playing on the radio.

 

Is Twisted Sister "Under The Blade" in this list??????????

 

Steady As She Goes - The Raconteurs?

 

I Wanna Be Sedated.

 

I'm In You - Peter Frampton
Operator - Jim Croce

 

"Can we have your liver then?"

 

Perhaps in the U.S.A - not in my operating theatre!!
Only one boss in there, the man at the top end of the table

 

Corporal Jigsore Quandry- Carcass
Genital Grinder- Carcass
Just listen to carcass actually

 

Just about anything by SPK (Surgical ***** Klinik)! Great instructional videos too...
