## Caption

I recently heard about this drape height adjustment from an anesthesiologist.  Is this universally true?

👉 Did I get the drape heights correct for each specialty?  Should my specialty of orthopedic surgery be higher?  I have a feeling some might suggest that I should raise it to the roof for orthopedics 😂

🚨 Also, please keep in mind this is just a joke.  It's not that anesthesiologists (or surgeons like me for that matter) avoid talking to neurosurgeons (in fact, several of my friends are neurosurgeons) or CT surgeons, it's just that their surgeries are generally a little more intense…and probably so are the intra-operative conversations.
