“During surgery you hand the surgeon everything. All the instruments and supplies are on your back table, or on your mayo stand over the patient, where you have arranged them. If you do the procedure often you are a few steps ahead, always ready. When the surgeon starts closing the wound, you and your nurse count. When he closes skin, you count again. You put on dressings. You move all your supplies away from the bed and take the drapes off the patient. The patient gets wheeled to recovery, the surgeon dictates, you clean up.”
Teresa Modjallal, Surgical Technologist Essays: Stories from a traveler scrub

“You go over all the steps of the surgery in your head to make sure you’re not forgetting anything.”
Teresa Modjallal, Surgical Technologist Essays: Stories from a traveler scrub

“Even though surgery was initially terrifying, I liked being in a hospital, the feeling of making peoples’ lives better and doing important work.”
Teresa Modjallal, Surgical Technologist Essays: Stories from a traveler scrub
