I had a surgeon say “I need someone in here that knows what they’re doing.” My response “Do you want me to call another attending in here to help you?”

One of the ortho surgeons walked in and asked the scrub tech where his A team was and without missing a beat she was like “with the A surgeon. Good morning doctor”

Doc was throwing osteotomes one at a time in the floor because he wanted something different but refused to say what it was…after the third one I dumped the pan of osteotomes off the side of the mayo- he startled and said “why would you do that????” And I said “because you were taking too fucking long, I figured we’d just get it over with.”

I was a new nurse placing a foley on a sleeping male patient. Surgeon says “grab it like you mean it”. I said “sir, I can’t—I have a mask on”. I was his fave for years after that.

I kept calling a doctor ma’am and she stoped and said “you can call me by my name or you can call me doctor I didn’t go to 10+ years of school to be called ma’am. So I got really nervous and said “yes sir”

I had a doctor get upset because I wouldn’t give him any more lidocaine because he had already give the limit for the patients size and weight. He says “I can have your job” my response was as “you can’t do your job why would you want mine”.

A mean surgeon that no one else would work with said, "Get me a better tech" and I told him that better techs are for better doctors". Can't throw me out of the room if no one else is willing to come in 🤷🏻♀️

Not a surgeon, but a PA was trying to rush my orientee through a final count (“are you done” “can I sew” “can I go now”) so I snapped at him and yelled WHERE DO YOU NEED TO BE? Room went silent, except for my count 💅🏼

I was a traveler at this hospital and a surgeon told me I was not his usual tech and that he wanted someone else. I scrubbed out. Changed my scrub cap and scrubbed back in and told him “here’s your someone else” and he was like ok got it 🤣 he asked for me for the rest of my assignment.

“Those are big feelings for a man who stands on the princess pad” To the orthopedic surgeon who needs the anti-fatigue mat that was upset my orientee was taking too long to mix cement.

Rebecca Ayres :
Worked with a surgeon that was always nasty and rude to literally everyone. He went off on the whole room one day about how long it took us to intubate/prep/drape….we all just stood there looking at him and when he was finished I said “it must have taken your parents a really long time to be proud of you…”I got called to our managers office shortly after he broke scrub🙂

Called in at 3am and the surgeon was just ranting, not mad just talking non stop and I just handed him the scope and said “you are sooo good looking”*measured pause*, he looks at me and I finish with “with your mouth closed”. He silent laughs, we finish the case in silence. And to the day he sees me and will immediately close his mouth and look at me and point at his closed mouth. I always say “yep, there’s my handsome man” 😂😂😂
