A patient support framework mountable between upright head and foot posts of a medical table for supporting a patient during medical procedures, comprising:

• a first portion connectable to an upright head post and having patient support means mounted thereto;
• a second portion extending from the first portion and connectable to an upright foot post to and shaped to at least partially surround a working space located between the first portion of the patient support framework and the upright foot post, the second portion including an opening to permit lateral entry by medical personnel into the working space;
• a base member extending between the head post and the foot post, beneath the patient support framework;
• and
• a stool slidably mounted to the base member for longitudinal sliding thereon and having a seat positioned within the working space.
