patients at Peterborough City Hospital are being given the chance to watch their favourite films and TV programmes to help them relax during surgery. Classics such as "The Sound of Music", "Cabaret", "West Side Story"and "South Pacific" have proven the most popular choices among older patients, who are more likely
to be given a local anaesthetic when going under the knife.
'Dirty Dancing is currently the most popular film with older female patient whie BBC documentary serries The Blue Planet' is is an other favourite, apparently chosen because of David Attenborough's soothing voice. The scheme is being led by consultant anaesthetist Dr Richard Griffiths, who says the approach is benefcial to
older patients who carry an increased risk of reacting badly to general anaesthetic.
Iris Quirolo, 75, recently chose to watch The Sound of Music' during a hip operation. She said: "It was a good experience and a better way to have an operation. I never expected this would be an option and i have vowed that if i ever need another operation I will ask to be able to watchTV again!"
the entertainment and surgery go hand in hand.if anyone in your family needs an operation or surgery, don't forget to entertain him.
