@sliceoflifemd: I’m an ophthalmologist, and even though I work alongside so many different healthcare professionals, I realized there’s a lot I don’t know about what they actually do. So I’m fixing that. Welcome to Walk a Mile in Their FIGS, a new series where every Friday I’m learning about a different profession in medicine, what they do, what their training looks like, and the things the rest of us may not realize about their job. This week: Surgical Technologists. I work with surg techs in the OR all the time, but I wanted to understand their profession beyond what I see from my side of the operating table. If you’re a surgical technologist, tell me what I missed!
