operating table
Surgeon's work surface
An operating table is the flat, adjustable surface on which a patient lies during surgery.
Operating tables tilt, raise, and reconfigure to give surgeons access to different body parts: The anesthesiologist stood at the head of the operating table.
Figuratively, being on the operating table means undergoing surgery or, by extension, intense scrutiny or intervention.
