Pandora in the OR?

[ChcltSltyBlls]

Members don't see this ad.

Couple o' questions for everybody here.

1.) Who controls the music in your OR? Anesthesiology, Surgery, Other?

2.) What do you normally listen to? Radio, Mix Tape, Pandora?

3.) If you listen to Pandora, which artists do you usually play?

4.) What is the weirdest music you've had to listen to because of the surgeon?


Sorry all if this topic has been covered already! 😀

1) Our surgeon preference cards have music listed. The circulators usually have it going by the time I get to the room.

2) Usually Pandora or someone's iPod.

3) See #1.

4) There's one general surgeon who insists on classic jazz whenever he's in the OR. It's OK for a while, but after 9 hours of Dave Brubeck's Greatest Hits, you want to kill someone.

Last December I often worked with a pediatric surgeon who played Christmas music ... all ... day. I was ready to induce general anesthesia on myself by noon.

I had no idea there were so many (crappy) versions of Walking In A Winter Wonderland and Jingle Bells out there.

A very nice, calm, collected neurosurgeon I know, always works with the metal XM station on. Another real arse hole of a general surgeon (yells at techs, throws staplers) listens to Cat Stevens like crap all day.

Let me point you to one of the finest stories here...

we've got a surgical oncologist here that likes all that crappy sap-metal, like nickelback and creed and their ilk. We got to the end of one of the CDs the other day and his resident was, gratefully, like, "Hey, Dr. R, should we mix it up a little? Maybe some Stones, or some Zep?" and he was like, "Man, I'm really feeling like I need a little more nickelback, how about that live CD?" Oh, the humanity.

I still laugh at this every time I hear Nickelback


🤣

I heard their new release "Something in Your Mouth" and it really hit me that rock and roll is dead.

Mr Johnson is their a certain Trauma attending who loves rap music at your institution?

I would disagree. Radio is dead. There is great music out there, but it won't be found on the radio.

Especially not in S.A. 😀 Try SXSW.

We had a vascular surgeon at my medical school that LOVED Jimmy Buffett. Wow. That dude gets a little old before the Ioban is even on.

Conversely, we had two CT surgeons that always listened to Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd.


Amazing.

That's why I have Sirius/XM.

But NB still sells out show after show. I have been to SXSW and ACL and love it. I just can't get over bands like NB that create crap and pack shows when there are so many other great artists out there.

I just get so pissed off when people call in "can you play that new NB song again!!! It rocks!!!"

You are correct about the market here in SA.

We have a spine surgeon that plays LOUD RAVE.

Ok, I like some trance when I am out dancing with a buzz on, but after 8 hours of raving spine surgery I am a raving lunatic and I can't get out of there fast enough.

Luckily most of our surgeons are pretty open and we share music selections with each other.

There is, and if we're thinking of the same guy, he's probably my favorite surgeon in the whole place. No case is finished until you get the sterile fist-bump through the drape. I did some of his cases overnight Friday.

Christmas music, country, it's all awful (been there, heard that)
but the worst was one of the neuro attendings playing freakin kids songs ALL day long on an 8 hour lami. I must have heard the same CD like 15 times by the time this torture was over!

At one of the community hospitals around here, the anesthesiologists are issued iPods by their department, and each anesthesia cart has a boombox on it with an iPod jack. Pretty sweet deal, getting to pick your own music all the time.

Some surgeons bring their ipods but most don't. All of the anesthesiologists have music. We have a surgeon that likes the worst gaud awful bluegrass music ever made. He comes around rarely but always brings his CD's. I never play them.

At our ASC we plug into pandora pretty often. My favorite stations right now on pandora are Lou Reed and Johnny Cash. Very good mix of music that everyone can enjoy on both of those stations.

So the worst OR music I've had to listen to so far is an orthopedic surgeon who made his own mix tape of the Lilith Fair's Greatest Hits. He had two CD's and we switched back and forth between the two, all day, every day, for two weeks. I feel sorry for everyone else in the OR who works with him all the time.

there's an ortho guy where i am that comes in at the beginning of the first case, and asks the room if they'd like to hear something new this morning. we all say "oh yea", and he pops in the same top gun soundtrack each day starting out with loggins' danger zone. awesome.

Next time, when they're under the microscope and the lights are off, grab the light wand in one hand, and the brightest blade you have in your cart in the other, and start dancing like a freak!
