a word about props...

so, on tv shows, they tend to show us dictating into a microphone that hangs from the celing. it would be nice and would save a lot of time but how are you supposed to do that in a room full of buzzsaws?

also, they tend to give us surgical trays on tv. the thing is, medical instruments are expensive and, well, that level of precision is no longer necessary if your patient is dead. so we tend to use stuff from restaurant supply companies and Home Depot...
