and then there was the time when a student was scrubbed in a neck dissection, and the attending dissected and exposed the accessory nerve. He pointed to it and asked the student sternly, what’s this nerve do? The student was taken aback, looked left and right to see if any help was coming and then just shrugged his shoulders. The attending says…”exactly, why can’t all the students know anatomy like this guy”

When I first went into private practice, each of us had our own "cart" which we were responsible for stocking with medications, supplies, etc. Most of us had a tape player or radio on the cart for music in the OR. Of the 5 drawers in the cart, two of mine were filled with cassette tapes, and later CDs.
Since the cart was the anesthesiologist's "territory," it became pretty much tradition that the gas passer chose the music. I tried to accommodate pretty much everyone's taste (no rap, however).
Once we lost the individual carts, a cd player and/or powered speakers into which you could plug a phone/ipod became the norm. It was only as I was retiring that surgeons discovered they could bring their own music.

Protip: The appropriate greeting when showing up an hour late for your first case of the day is "I'm so sorry to be late," not, "I don't want to be help up by slow turnovers today."
