5 Things Only A Surgical Technologist Would Understand

1. Some surgeons use different slang names for the tools.
There are times when outside surgeons arrive for something like organ harvest and they start giving out instructions in the operating room, and start naming the surgical tools what they look like.
2. Peeing is a no-no especially in the middle of an operation.
There are instances wherein surgical technologists feel the need to pee and They do nothing other than hold it in until everything is completed.
3.Sterility seems to be a difficult concept for some newbie doctors.
There are cases when resident doctors drop instruments on the floor and try to pick it up and keep going to save time.
4.There are times when operating room staff still like to have some fun in the OR at the end of a surgical procedure..
After making sure that their patient is safe, some surgeons and scrub techs still manage to pull some pranks on their co-workers.
5. If they feel an itch on their face and other parts of their body, they have to ignore it as much as possible.
Just like any other individual, surgical techs also feel itchy sometimes and when that occurs, they usually resist scratching it. But if they can’t take it anymore, they usually reach for a specific instrument called a hemostat, scratch with it, and then drop it to the floor.
