Dr. Edward Chin: “Surgeons Got Rhythm, and Sometimes (Heart) Beat”

The question of the benefits of music in the OR and the kind of music played, prompted MedPage Today to invite surgeons from leading medical centers to share their playlists and tell us why music in the OR is important to them. Edward Chin, MD, general surgeon at The Mount Sinai Hospital: "For me, music during surgery is essential. I find that it keeps my energy level and focus high.
