Lyrical incisions

Many surgeons, anesthetists and nurses like music to be played in the operation theater. It helps them relax and sooth their nerves. It improves the cognitive function of the listeners and creates a sense of well being. Their moods get better.It helps personnel approach surgeries in a thoughtful and relaxing manner.
However, there are contrasting views regarding the role of music in the operation theater. Some people might be sensitive to noise and not like the type of music being played.
What if :

  • Some people liked classical music and hated heavy metal?
  • The music caused distraction?
  • Sudden changes in tempo led to sudden unwanted movements?
  • The music affected communication between anesthetists, surgeons and nurses?
It would be a good idea if all the operating theater personnel discussed the type of music to be played while operating. It would save a lot of heartburn among all concerned.
Here is a typical scene from the popular American sitcom 'Scrubs'.
