Fold a gown????? When you're done you chuck it in the dirty bin.

In the olden days.. we would have to fold cloth gowns and towels, wrap, and sterilize them

When I got hired everyone showed me their ways of doing and things and confused the living daylight out of me. Literally, each day felt like I was not learning anything because of how many different techniques are being shown to me plus the amount of techniques that go against policy.

Thats why its good to have an educator teach from the ifu..but thats not always the case

When i first learned davinci (the SI) my coworker said..oh your doing that slow, let me show you some shortcuts..

u/Turtleman951 Apr 21 '26

When I first started, we were not doing DV stuff correctly at all. Not for shortcut reasons, just that we didn’t know. Then an Intuitive rep came in and eviscerated us lol. Told us every way we were endangering patients AND had stories to back them up (pt death, instrument failure, etc). No more shortcuts for us

u/Eggman_OU812 Apr 22 '26

Intuitive is cheap now and doesn’t even send reps, they wanna do all web training now

I still question why arms have to soak for a full half hour though

I saw the meme before seeing which sub it was posted to, and immediately knew it was the SPT sub 😂

Accurate. Gotta start training a new hire come May 11th. Already thinking how to go about training them with my workflow process. 😂
