From classical to rock, music can be heard in operating rooms across the world. When plastic surgeons listen to music they prefer, their surgical technique and efficiency when closing incisions is improved, a new study shows.

1. I know this to be true. When I had my cataract operation (no biggie but required a day hospital

trip) doctor asked me what music I enjoyed. I told him any of the Philharmonics and he smiled. The music was beautiful, the anethisist and I chit chatted until Dr. came in and it was just an enjoyable experience...

2. "Music soothes the souls..."

4. If you are the one having someone putting stitches into you would you be

more concerned about the nurse assisting the doctor being relaxed or the doctor who is putting the stitches in being relaxed and doing a good job?

5. if it took a team to perform a given procedure

I would like them all to be happy

I just know I would be beside myself if I had to listen to country music while working

6. Hey I can understand that as there is alot of music I dislike but I dont

bitch if my brother is doing the driving and listening to either Rap, Country or Gospel and all 3 are genres I generally dislike.

7. I do

country or gospel - absolutely not

I've heard some rap before that intrigued me though

8. It's not just surgeons

I have spent many hours listening to Mozart while writing computer programs. It helps me think clearly. The ones I keep coming back to are the piano concerti, as played by Mitsuko Uchida. Here she is performing the Romanze from the Piano Concerto #20, K 466
