Came for clinically relevant information. Enough with the equity cultural nonsense. You’re making yourselves irrelevant.
I’m seasoned as a person but new to the Surgical Tech world. I went to school to be a CST. I’ve been a tech for a year now. Im learning how to speak “surgery”. And this podcast has been SO HELPFUL! I’ve had an “ah-ha” moment with this “Advocacy” episode really put things into perspective for me. I wish Miss Chris was my teacher while I was in ST school. Thank you for all your episodes!

I was introduced to this podcast and I’m enjoying it. I am a surgical technologist by trade for about 20 years and I’m glad someone is giving insights into our daily lives. I want to be part of this podcast to share my own perspective.
Great interview! If I ever have surgery I want Nurse Brenna in my OR! She sounds like she is on top of things! I hope that all OR personnel are as committed to this process as she is.
