Surgical Tech Tips

[raneve23]

Do u make good money?

[MultiSurg]

You're awesome! Keep the videos coming. It's excellent that you name the instruments. For us new techs it would have been helpful if you mentioned those were trocars under the towel and the order we pass them.

the supplies hanging off the Mayo stand are considered contaminated and need to get off your mayo and off your field.

your instruments are very good. love how neat they are all set up. dont know why that are facing that way when they should be facing you. but good.

thank you for the tips!!

I can't wait for your upcoming videos. Im a surg tech student in my last semester and this was really helpful. We're on surgical procedures 2 and 3 and Lap- coli is one procedure that we're focusing on, so this was sooo helpful and great to see. Things clicked more after seeing this and hearing your brief yet complete description of what a lap-coli was and what will be needed and what needs to be considered. Thank you again.

This was soooo awesome! Thank you for this!!

@erbrown Extern is going ok, its a lot of ego there and the surg tech is not welling to teach you, the nurses and doctors are awful acting. Some treat you as you are a big dumbey. Just go in hold your head up, dont over think, and be nervous as much, do your best and know why you are there to learn and make money to improve you lifestyle. I hope this helps you, I wish ppl would have told me the truth and not sugar coated and lied about extern. Keep me posted on your extern...Good luck

Wow. This is awesome! I personally truly appreciate the fact that you're taking the time to film this. I'm a new tech. About 3 months in. Everyone has a HUGE HUGE ego. Not many techs are willing to teach me without putting me down and talking shit. Same goes with nurses. Not ever gonna give up tho. Still loving this field!! Thanks again!

Being a new tech, lap chole happens to be the most consistent involvement and has become a procedure of choice. I have mastered the steps, but still weak at set-up. This was very helpful. Not to panic was also very beneficial advice. Thank you very much. A good abservation by jolinejb is supplies hanging off the mayo stand. I learn from every one, and my goal is to teach Surgical Tech after a year or two, one way to help more people. If you're new, like me, let's talk. francismordiokia@charter.n

CAN YOU OVER THE ORDER OF INTS FOR A Lumpectomy

[morbidtrio]

waiting on some more!!! thanks im in clinicals now and can use all the references i can get:) great job and very helpful, looking for some ENT vids to help with endoscopic procedures

[hpflyboi]

I have a question for you. I am just trying to get tips and techniques from others to assist me in becoming a better CST. Your "open" standby intruments are facing towards the back of the table. Is there a special reason they are facing towards the rear versus the front of the table? I usually face them to the front of the table just so I can see the tips of the instruments. I am just curious and any info would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for making the video btw. AWESOME JOB!!!
