Music in the OR? For Cleveland Clinic Surgeons, It's Not Just Mozart.

This edition of Cleveland Clinic's video podcast HealthEdge may rock your world a bit. Studies show that music in the operating room may help surgeons concentrate better. But what happens if the patient likes Bach and the surgeon prefers Rolling Stones?

One thing is for sure, Cleveland Clinic is doing a good job using Web 2.0 tools like Google Video to inform the public.

The HealthEdge videocast is not Rocketboom but is often both informative and entertaining which is an important feature of any good educational medium. You can subscribe to HealthEdge on iTunes or Bloglines. Videos are available to watch or download for free on Google Video.
