TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - The Operating Room as a Study in Cultural Anthropology A1 - Cochran, Amalia A2 - Cochran, Amalia A2 - Braga, Ruth PY - 2016 T2 - Introduction to the Operating Room AB - Imagine yourself dropped off on an island, or perhaps even another planet, with living beings who appear similar to humans that you know. You know little to nothing about who they are, what their lives are like, what things they do, how they do things, how they interact as a group. You may not know their language, and you definitely don’t know anything about their shared traditions. You don’t know their values and stories. All you know is that you are in a place with different sights, smells, sounds than anyplace you have ever been before, surrounded by other beings who seem very different from any you have experienced and who are doing things that appear to be a bit crazy and frightening.
