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
