Wtf is going on in the UK, especially in the medical space?
Daddies are trying to discredit NHS in public eyes so they can defund it and privatize it.
Question: Why do they refer to the surgery area as a theatre? Is it for entertainment purposes?
Maybe I'm an idiot, but I thought 'theatre' was for entertainment and surgery room was for medical surgery...
I think that's because there were surgery rooms where students can watch operations from above
You're probably right. So indeed it's for entertainment. Gotcha.
I believe it was for education, not entertainment (though some procedures may have been entertaining, or at least interesting, to watch)
Surgery used to be, essentially, a speedrun. Sanitation and anaesthesia were near nonexistent so opening and closing as quickly as possible would markedly improve mortality rates. Appendix% was a popular watch.
Theatre has two meanings (it seems), one of them being "a room or hall for lectures with seats in tiers". The idea is that above the "centre stage" there would be seating for other doctors to watch the surgery for education/research purposes.
Because surgery started out in literal theatres:

Ever heard of a "theater of war?"
No, could you be more Pacific in your reference? Explain it real simple, my level of comprehension has its Nimitz.
Yes. Romans considered that as entertainment.
From the title, I immediately assumed it was the patient being whacked on on anesthesia drugs. Didn't even consider the doctors or other nurses. Damn... Do I have that thing where I just naturally trust figures of authority? 🤔
