Surgical Technologist Reviews
What is it like working as a Surgical Technologist?
June 2016
Setting up brain, neck, back surgeries and assisting surgeons.
Surgical Technologist:
Pros: I have learned a lot about Neuro Surgery, getting to work in the surgical field is just amazing. Brain cases are my favorite. Also we have a lot to do when we have big back and neck cases such as: POLAR, ACDF, XLIFT, ALIFT, and disc cases as well. It is really been a learning experience working in the Hospital. Scrubbing with surgeons is a lot of fun. Feels good at the end of the day knowing you helped someone.
Cons: Sometimes standing for hours can be bad on you physically and mentally. The pay could be better.
