How a Surgical Tech Makes a Surgeon Look Good | Interview

[@tony0786]

I've been a scrub tech for many years and I think Alden nailed it. Any new tech watching this should emulate what he said. There was a lot of good feedback between both of them.

Fellow tech here. I am so happy to find realistic and helpful info. Not a school commercial. Can we get a "when things go wrong in the OR"? It happens, there are traumas, things change in the midst of surgery. Share more about techs please!! I love it.

Elizabeth, Would you like to share some stories of when things go wrong in the OR? Contact me. Let's set up a video interview!

[@melinapatterson9533]

I love surgeons like this! Appreciate your team

[@briancagordon2308]

I’m current in the surgical tech program and looking every where for good tips and trick in every aspect to help me be successful

[@jarodjohnson7182]

Me too. Good luck :)

[@beautykay8545]

I’m in the surgical tech program, once I graduate. I pray that I work under a surgeon like this, you can tell he’s genuine and nice and seems to have the patience and knowledge with his staff that could just be starting out. I was told there will be surgeons that will yell at you!

[@KC-py5vq]

@HIGH MOUSE yeah, probably because most of them are classists elitists

[@Caroline-pb8xx]

My teachers have been telling us lots of them will yell this semester. I get the idea that maybe there's a lot of pressure put on surgeons that work in hospitals to be fast and efficient, and not slow and steady. Of course, I would never know what makes someone so rude, but I think about it a lot.

[@JCLinMD]

@Caroline-pb8xx It's because people expect perfection. They are human. We are human. There is a LOT of pressure to be perfect.

[@Caroline-pb8xx]

@@JCLinMD Thank you for outlining that! I can't imagine. Are there ways to be a more calming presence for a surgeon, besides anticipating really well?

[@KittenPotpi3]

Yes go CSTs!

[@pamhaliot5991]

NAILED IT!!! Thank you for posting this video and showing appreciation for the field of Surgical Technology. I have been a CST for well over 25 years and am now an Instructor of Surgical Technology here in Tempe. Yes, I maintain my skills with a PRN position. I am very excited to share this video with them.
