I learned that both of my surgeries earlier this year were on CCTV for med students due to both the lead surgeon and the rare/hazardous nature of the operations. So, some things haven't changed.

I wonder how they cleaned the cameras for a surgical suite? Or, were things less stringent back then?

I think video recording is probably common these days for legal reasons too.

Edit: this shot looks pretty posed to me due to the uniform lighting of the room - the surgical light isn't on.

Thanks for these great photos.

One piece of trivia I've been told over the past few months is that the medical-equipment market is apparently one of the only drivers for ongoing CRT use/maintenance. This is because medical equipment needs to be certified by the FDA, and converting the equipment to LCD or other flatscreen monitors would require re-certification, an expensive proposition.
