The Best Gifts for Doctors, According to Medical Professionals
“Many surgeons listen to music in the operating room,” says plastic surgeon Melissa Doft, and she recommends a small, portable Bluetooth speaker that won’t be a distraction. Since the speaker sits far from the operating table, it doesn’t need to go through a full sterilization process, but she likes that this one is waterproof so she can easily wipe it down with alcohol. As for what tunes go best with wielding a scalpel, Doft tells us, “for a very delicate procedure, I like soft old school music like Frank Sinatra. For surgeries with a lot of sewing, I prefer something very modern and upbeat.”
