They have all sorts of electrical equipment in "plain vanilla exam rooms." My son had a wart on his foot, and the doctor pulled out a gadget that burned it off with an electric arc. Right there in the exam room. I think that a lot of the the exam tables are motorized, as well. Plus probably twenty other gadgets that I wouldn't begin to even know what they are that inhabit those rooms.
I don't know where the official line is between what's considered a patient care area and what isn't, but my experience and common sense tells me that a doctor's exam room is absolutely an area that should be treated as a patient care area.
