I get the 'need' some surgeons may have for background music during operations (honestly if I were a surgeon I absolutely would be playing something in the background) but it is insane to me that some hospital board justified paying for a Pandora corporate (?? do they even have corporate licensing lmao) subscription & having IT support it instead of just buying a soundbar or something with an aux input/cd drive and telling the surgeons to supply their own tunes.

actually i can see some hospital board justifying it given the number of stories i've heard from my parents over the years regarding their hospital's board lol

Cranky, yes very.

Surgeon, not so much. But neat story regardless
