Quarter #2 over

This quarter we started our clinical portion of the Surgical Technology program. I have definitely seen some interesting things. Just to able to see the inside of the body up close and personal; heart still beating, peristalsis in the bowel, etc...seeing it actually work has just been utterly amazing for me. All of my friends, mostly, think I am sick and crazy for liking the things I have seen.
But it just makes me realize how complex we are and how we are designed for everything to work correctly and how our body knows when something is array and how I am a part of a team that helps fix people.

New Subject

ok..so many of you know that I have been in the Surgical Technology program for the past 5 months...if you didn't, now you do.
Anyway, so we have finally started our clinical portion of the the program about 4 weeks ago. I really do feel like a medical student sometimes with all of the paperwork we have to do.
Don't get me wrong the things I have seen have been really interesting, but I hate doing the drawings that go along with it. Too many...however, i have nothing to complain about really because i usually have about 2-3 cases a day, while my fellow students have 6-8 cases a day. I have seen bowel, carotid arteries, uterus, behinds and much more.
I have a question for surgeons out there, what do you think makes a good scrub tech and what kind of advice would you give them to improve on instrument knowledge and procedures?
