My personal favorites would be Steely Dan, David Bowie, Talking Heads, Van Morrison. And I was a great fan of Elvis Presley. We had music in the operating theater where I worked. There was some debate between myself and the nurses about who chose the music. And as a consequence of that, I decided to write a piece for it for a journal called Hospital Doctor.
Some surgeons are a little bit more open.
They'll listen to what's being played. But other surgeons, they have very, very fixed opinions about what they want to hear, and we have to listen to it. There were a few things that I found that were surprising. Almost all of the medical staff said they would leave the choice in the hands of the nursing staff. I'm a bit skeptical about that.
