Choreography In the Operating Theater

Posted by: Dr. Baxter - 6 days 23 hours ago

As my training for the Seattle Dances fundraiser accelerates toward the March 3 event, I am starting to see more parallels of dance, surgery, and life in general. I have always thought that surgery has a choreography, a sequence of purposeful moves coordinated within a team. The surgeon is the lead of course, but the more the others know what moves come next, the smoother it all goes. These are things worth thinking about consciously and paying attention to; they lead to safer surgery and better outcomes.
