An index of the video

[@DrLivi]

Last week I was here as a student. But now as a doctor. I bless God.

[@BadAthisOMG]

Am I 15? Yes. Do I have mountains of unfinished work I should be doing? Also Yes. But am I still gonna watch all 30 minutes of this? Absolutely.

[@Pathologist_S.Aureus]

what does age have to do with it..?

[@boookroach]

That's amazing! I'm 17 doing the same thing🤭✨️

[@Legendary_Starlight]

relatable, except I'm almost 16 XD

[@Stealthsilent1337]

I am 42? Yes. Am I smart enough to be my own dentist? Yes. Am I going to use all this information? Absolutely.

[@jrsommano7186]

Mr. Sowers, thank you for every single lecture you have posted for ST's. Today, with your help, on my 1st attempt, I passed my exam. I've graduated as a CST. Thank you so much! I couldn't have done it without your lectures and detailed illustrations. Thank you!

[@tdixon97]

Is the program hard ? Any advice to help me I start in august

[@AmandahPaulson]

I didn't find the program hard, but the amount you need to know/memorize seems very overwhelming. To help me study and pass the exam I am looking into a position at my local hospital for an un-certified tech to get me some hands on experience. I hope I can pass on my first try too. These videos however have helped me sooo much @@tdixon97

[@Trinity_x2]

Do you still have your books ? I’m willing to buy

[@oluguaglory424]

Thank you for lecture

[@Ashley-og9ti]

​@tdixon97 did you end up starting your CST program?

[@Sporkyspork]

I'm a new CP tech, and got tossed into the deep end, just baskets and baskets of mystery surgical instruments with the item numbers worn away with time. This video has helped a ton, thank you.

[@jaylee842]

For surgical instrument learning starts from here. The best lecture available on KZbin for beginners with mindful PowerPoint for the students. Thank you so much, sir.

Got a job interview at a hospital this Monday for a Sterile Processing Tech position. I recommend anyone to start in that position because its an entry level position into the OR department and to learn many surgical instruments. Many hospitals I came across are willing to train you if you are new. I was told its better to also be certified as well and they can expect you to be certified months down the line. You get paid more being certified. Either you do over 400 work hours, get a schedule done for the certification exam, OR, while working you attend sterile processing classes, and pass to get certified. I'm doing both for the experience and to work my way up to have the experience to help be a Surgical technologist as well. That in itself is a different position but a different process to achieve with a AS degree. Its easier hands on experience, plus I did research, you are expected to learn many instruments as a Surgical Tech, and some recommend people goes down that route to learn the instruments easier.

[@eyeamher444]

Thank you for this confirmation. I’m going to school for sterile processing then soon surgical tech 🫠❤️ I already work in the medical field so it helps already being in .

[@sherlcaj109]

Oh my goodness! THIS VIDEO IS AMAZING! You were very detailed and explained it PERFECTLY! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[@wholeNwon]

I recall having watched a great surgery professor who was astoundingly skillful. He employed his own instrument tech. She was so familiar with even very complex operations that he only held out his hand to have exactly the right instrument passed from one of the several open trays. He knew that talking at the table increases the risk of pt. infection, as does anything other than delicate tissue manipulation.

[@melindaflowers3646]

starting school come April and wanted to start getting myself familiar with the instruments ,thank you so much for taking the time to do this video as it was very helpful, I will be using this video throughout my time in school.

[@SpoileralertGMA47]

Are there left-handed scissors for surgeons that are left-handed? If you use right-handed scissors in your left hand the blades tend to spread apart and not cut well.
