Thank you for this perspective! We tend to forget how much stress they are under also.

[@khalidadrme3628]

Hi. Am a general surgeon and i really apreciate the way you re defending them and finding reasons to explain why do day behave so..... actually you did very well and i hope if everyone around me can see from this side to 👌👌👌💪💪💪🤗🤗🤗

[@pamelahood208]

I am glad to hear you have worked with more pleasa t than unpleasant surgeons. I have been a surg tech since 2002, and I cannot say the same. Most surgeons are difficult and unpleasant. A nice surgeon is a rarity...Kind of like a nice circulator...

[@rosemarymoreo6943]

I found orthopedic surgeons to be the most fun to work with. Neuro and vascular are difficult. DOs are usually easier than MDs. I was a scrub and circulating RN for 20 years.

[@bradleyalberson6768]

Lol watch this before meeting a surgeon "professionally"( like in a working environment) and then rewatch this video. So much truth 😂

[@sheridetiveaux1839]

I am a surg tech student. I start clinicals in 2 weeks and am so stressed. Our instructors also tell us horror stories and I am terrified. There is one Cardio surgeon the hospital is offering $25,000 sign on bonuses for nurses and $5000 sign on bonuses just to work with her!!! How do you let that Dr continue to work and treat staff so badly??!! It infuriates me. Another tech ( very sweet, soft spoken girl) was harrassed SO much by other team members that she wound up in the corner of the OR in a fetal position😭 She wound up being taken to a psych hospital. 💔 HOW can this behavior be tolerated?!! It's disgusting! In our orientation for surg tech they tell us about this and about how that behavior is unacceptable and must be addressed and reported. I'm sure it rarely is, bc they also told us the complaints are usually ignored, so what's the point?? It's EXTREMELY discouraging. Anyways...sorry for the rant. I just found your channel yesterday and subscribed. I was thinking about asking you about a video on this last night and then I wake up this morning and this is the first thing in my feed. Thanks for all the great advice and tips!❤❤

[@ericadaugherty4716]

Sheri Detiveaux Yes being treated like shit can definitely have an impact. They say you need thick skin and that is true but at the same time it’s bullshit you have to change yourself. I was always very soft spoken and kind and people walked all over me. It got to the point I’d get crippling anxiety before going in to work and I wanted to jump off a building literally I was suicidal. But I didn’t want to lose myself so I quit the main hospital and started working at a smaller surgery center and that helped. It definitely takes a certain kind of person to work in the OR.

[@JenniferSmith-lu5cn]

I understand the ridiculous amount of stress a surgeon because of working at a teaching hospital. Surgical tech here. I've seen them get their asses handed to them by everyone repeatedly to the point where I feel bad for the resident, fellow, attending, etc. and so I can't imagine that stress. HOWEVER, I do not think it is an excuse to mistreat every single person trying to help you. There is no excusing of throwing things, name calling, bullying, even coming at someone with a knife which some surgeons do to make you "learn a lesson." We are all there for the patient.

[@GarSwamp]

From my experience neuro surgeons are the worst to deal with, general and plastics the most fun. Ortho are failed Athletes but overall cool

[@ccoop3774]

Gar Swamp, our spine doc was wonderful! Now, he wasn't a neurosurgeon, he was ortho. We did spine, no crani. There was one spine guy that came occasionally and he was a tailhole! Thankfully he gave up his privileges with us. Our spine team had loads of fun. We all frequently went out together.

[@oneofthechosen874]

I havent had the experience to scub for a neuro surgeon, but I do agree that plastic suegeon are the most fun and relaxed to work with and failed Athletes? You crack me up LOL sure but some of them can be an ass.

[@nassimnicolas502]

Because neurosurgery is the most difficult speciality and it's a stressful and high risk surgery

[@jtaljl]

The one thing neuro docs have in common is the GIANT asshole factor.

[@aprilnicole8096]

@@jtaljl definitely agree

[@LaPieta227]

So very glad to find your video...I am currently a surg tech student, and my instructor seems to like telling us horror stories about surgeons. It has made me a bit anxious about clinicals. It was good to hear that you have worked with very few "bad" surgeons. Thank you!

[@nothingnamezero]

Nice video! Could you make one about funny/interesting/weird interactions between surgeons and anesthesiologists? For what I've heard they either have really bad or really good chemistry.

[@SurgicalTechTips]

I do have some "Funny" video idea written down, just a matter of getting people together to shoot it!

[@ferneche]

As always, another video full of wise thoughts

[@duenge]

it would be interesting to hear you speak on the difficulties you may have with a Dr. from a foreign country, and any language difficulties....thx.

[@gabrielabringhurst5693]

Worked with vascular surgeon 10 years he was unhappy negative and just nasty to or staff. Be careful staying in this type of situation it takes its toll on your mental health.

[@klown7463]

You should do a PA (surgical) vs CSFA video! Maybe going over differences in scope of practice, and if you ever thought about going the PA route!

[@chrisgibbons2049]

Also RNFA

[@klown7463]

Chris Gibbons Definitely!

[@SurgicalTechTips]

Gotcha!

[@wholeftmealone]

Omg you read my soul just making a video on this topic

[@kightremin]

[@melissarainchild]

Thank you. As it happens, I consider the studies. This video has shed light on a part that is important: the human surgean...or the surgical HUMAN. Surgeons are humans...thanks for noting that...

[@kaylahaas7755]

Can you make a video on how to organize the cords to throw off please. How to make the process faster because I am so slow at throwing off cords and they always get tangled.

[@kalislahren]

Kayla Haas kayla!!!!!! Its ssa Scott!

[@jmurphy1973]

I've had neurosurgery by a few different doctors and to be honest, only one of them was the stereotypical high strung, bad personality, "sociopath". The other two were amazing, had great bedside manner and were just as engaging during office visits. Sounds like I'm pretty lucky.

[@mindhunter8772]

Wait a minute, you said socio path?

[@eyetech08]

Ophthomologists (And Neuro) are the most insane...Which is why I've scrubbed with them for all of these years!!

[@panamera53]

I've heard some stories. My mom has been a RN since 2001. She working on her Family Nurse Practitioner degree right now.

[@M1ke10191]

Love the vids man! I'm a PA student who's never seen inside an OR before so it's nice to see an inside view. Ever thought about a vid on the different roles of people in the OR? I'd imagine there's probably a dozen or so people inside at any one time, right?

[@SurgicalTechTips]

Yeah, i'm slowly wanting to take on other roles and showcase them in the OR. They are all so special, they will get there own videos though. I did one on the perfusionist/ perfusion machine so far.

[@ccoop3774]

Ortho tended to have the most people in the room. There's usually the C Arm that takes up a good portion of the room. The rad tech and they will sometimes have a student. The sales rep. They sometimes brought their boss and sometimes had their new hires. The CRNA and they often had students, too! We had student STs from M-th. So you would have scrubbed the doc, their PA, CST and often a student ST. The RN and I helped train new nurses, too. So the room could be very crowded! I was in spine 3 days weekly and you can add the IOM tech and their little space for their monitor.

[@candycaprihypnoticmamax0357]

Also as long as you really try to have everything ready or available for each surgeon and they see you are prepared and anticipate their needs they do relax a little more and if your not sure just ask hey doc you need anything specific or special for this case? And MOST of them will let you know if you need something they don’t see.. there are the few that will ignore you or just say if you don’t know what I need you should be in here. But in that case just maybe ask fellow coworkers if they might have done that case and you haven’t for some pointers or hints to what you might need.. asking for help never hurts..

[@jburgess1974]

Thank you for these short videos. In the back of my mind I wonder if I would have known more about surgical technology when I was in school, I think it would have been a field I would have liked to get into. One of my favorite shows I used to watch on the Learning Channel was a show called operation. They would perform actual surgeries of course in a one hour episode. I have seen on that show knee replacement, liposuction, tubal ligation, tubal ligation reversal to name a few and thought how interesting. One last comment I have regarding this video talking about understanding surgeons. I have a joke which you may or may not have heard before and one one of the very few jokes I actually remember. What is the difference between God and a Surgeon? Well at least God know he is not a surgeon.

[@candacebrinker8371]

That was a funny joke!

Im going on my 4th knee surgery i would like to know if you could do an example of an acl surgery back table and mayo table set up

[@salvadorvillanueva7079]

You forgot about the ortho guys they are hole to work with

[@candycaprihypnoticmamax0357]

Specialty is part of the dr. Attitude I have had cv surgeon that I love working with . Then there is the ones who think. They are god and are a pain in the butt.. Ortho docs are either extremely cool and love working with them or complete out of control Butt heads all the time.. its that way with customer and gyn docs as well.. I think our general docs and eye docs are probably the most level headed of all the docs I personally have experienced.

[@bianncas.555]

Make a “stuff STs say “ vid. 🙃

[@SurgicalTechTips]

Love this idea.

[@williamthurmond4940]

Nice dog

[@oneofthechosen874]

Up to 4:22 I believe that's no reason to be an ass. They CHOSE that themselves. Dont dish it if you cant take it. But so far, I've worked with very good and understanding surgeons, thank God.

[@maximilliantompsett3072]

I've always seen surgeons being assholes as basically they are busy and they are stressed so you must do the best you can in order to help make the what let process easier for them and therefore the patient.

[@Ircar47]

Nurses as well, in some places and cases you have to face a tragedy of death,but you also have other patients who deserve as much of best care, TLC and might have family visiting endlessly, so in one room you have the crying heart out next of the kin and 3 doors down giggling happy, who ask do you have Ginger Ale or a cup of coffee. You might have a very sick patient and what we call "sick all over" and you have to deal with both in a matter of few minutes and be good with all. With Doctors -good boundaries-appreciated most of the time,they always appreciate teamwork and knowledgeable staff, leave personal private at home.I also would suggest to have some corks - i did with socks,i always love crazy socks -we had lots of fun about. Spheres that amaze me the most and i truly believe those people are angels -Neonatal,Children oncology, Burns and Trauma 1...

[@dickman4405]

Really like your channel. please do something on ventilator

[@jeanetteraichel8299]

You have a cute doggie! Doctors can be assholes. They need to remember to treat people the same. The surgeon is not god. My gyno oncology surgeon was fortunate that she didn't have to deal with family...no one in my family knows I had surgery

[@Ell611]

I just had Surgery by a gyno oncologist. Our 1st consultation he was the biggest a hole and I seriously thought about going to a different Surgeon And hospital. I didn't and I can seriously say that he did save my life. With covid they have it easier because there's no interacting with families face to face

[@nolanbray3013]

Ey, how long do you think it will be until humans are overshadowed by robots. I think it will be 30-50 yrs but just wondering your input doing it daily

[@SurgicalTechTips]

I have heard rumors that the robotic systems we use today are actually recording surgical movements during cases and being recorded in databases....anything is possible.

[@mackenziegray8946]

It's kinda sad how companies want robotics doing the work. I understand is helps them save money but people need jobs to survive. Our population is growing and amount of jobs are declining.

[@user-wc6yh2yy2e]

Surgeons are silent heroes Made by God. Just their mindset is beyond the the average person.

[@C3yl0]

Yassine Elatraoui the difference between a surgeon and God is that God doesn’t believe he is a surgeon

Stop making excuses for doctors mistreating people. Everybody's life is hard and stressful.
