Music Not To Play in the OR

Posted by Clark Venable on 2/5/2006

A Chance To Cut is a Chance to Cure points to a cartoon or music that may not be right for the operating room.

It reminded me of a post at my first blog (which I'm reposting below):

A colleague pointed out to me that there are certain songs one should probably not play, or at least not while the patient is awake. What follows is his list of songs not to play while the patient is awake (with iTunes Music Store links where possible):

  • Don't Fear The Reaper
  • American Pie
  • Stairway to Heaven
  • Hurts So Good
  • Knocking On Heaven's Door
  • First Cut Is The Deepest
  • Paralyzed
  • Everybody Hurts
  • Like A Surgeon
  • Maxwell's Hammer
