What in the World Does a Surgical Technologist Do?
Surgical Technologists are, as I said, the “worker bees” of the Operating Room. If you’re working as a Surgical Tech you would be responsible for preparing the room, the table, all of the equipment, and for making sure that all the necessary instruments are in place so the Doctors who are performing the surgery can do their jobs. Outside of preparing the room you might also be asked to help keep a close eye on the patient by checking their vital signs or reading from their chart in order to help the Doctor. You may also need to pass different instruments to the Doctor so that they can have the right tool in hand at the right time.
