I think that you need to know how a hospital works - clearly OMS does!
I fear that the use of electrocautery has led to a generation of surgeons who are not used to tying sutures (seriously!) but a lot of surgery can be done without electricity (battery head lights are useful, but they don't count) so oddly, in most cases, the operating theatre doesn't have to be no. 1 priority. Anaesthetists don't need leccy either - Triservice apparatus.
What is muddled? Don't seek blame in me, seek it in the NFPA. Battery operated lighting in ORs is recommended by NFPA99 but not required. Most hospitals in the US are wired this way.
