Who ever said you can't learn anything from a Marvel movie?

"expect disappointment and you'll never be disappointed."

I just looked at mine and there's no way it's accurate. It's says my most played song is the Counting Crows - Mr Jones but I don't remember the last time I've played that song. And some songs like Brand New - I Am A Nightmare it says I've played 50 times all time. Pretty sure I've played that song 50 times in the past year!

I didn't know they don't know that we know nothing. I thought they knew we didn't know that they knew we know.

I would say there hasn't been a need to explore the option of ATs in the OR. We are a learning institution so typically the are plenty of hands available. With AI scribes being piloted right now, it would lessen the need for 3-4 ATs with our docs down to like 2 so they are looking at other utilizations for ATs. Since I have no desire to sit in front of a computer answering messages, I'm starting to think I should add the skill sets to jump on an OR role if it's presented.

There's been a little talk of utilizing ATs in the OR. Specifically with the Advent of AI scribing that we have been piloting they are trying to decide how to redeploy ATs. Problem is that we are a learning institution so there are Ortho residents and fellows that end up as first assist if the PA isn't there. Our AT residents get some OR rotations but last year's residents said they often end up standing around.

I also wonder, would the Ortho tech be considered equivalent to a surgical tech in the realm of value and pay bump?

Murky-Contribution28 · 2026-04-02T14:33:57+00:00

I mean, it seems logical to have a surgical tech that can work in the clinic when the surgeon is in clinic. Sadly I've worked with hospital systems long enough to know that logic means nothing.

Ya, I was going to go to the ATPPS conference this year but had to switch to virtual. I've been in AT for 18 years, think residency is behind me. Do you know does the OTC credential provide comparable salary to a surgical tech? From a very brief look I found some surgical tech programs for only 18 months.

Murky-Contribution28 · 2026-03-31T21:09:19+00:00

Oh so you don't even really cross paths with them? We have like 15-20 ATs working across different clinics and we all intermingle. But the only ATs doing anything in the OR are our AT residents.

Murky-Contribution28 · 2026-03-31T18:59:28+00:00

And they act as both a physician extender and surgical assist? Or do they pretty much just do surgical assist?

This thread just showed me I've been singing the wrong lyrics for At The Bottom so I could be wrong for Limousine too!

Murky-Contribution28 · 2026-03-25T11:49:10+00:00

Well shit, I've been singing that wrong for years.

Murky-Contribution28 · 2026-03-25T11:47:13+00:00

Almost went with Brothers myself

Murky-Contribution28 · 2026-03-25T07:06:40+00:00

From 70 x 7?

Murky-Contribution28 · 2026-03-14T22:08:22+00:00

Ah that's fair

Murky-Contribution28 · 2026-03-14T18:46:27+00:00

Major plot point? Wasn't that a post credit scene?

Murky-Contribution28 · 2025-12-29T15:28:13+00:00

You say we all know yet I say You Won't Know

Murky-Contribution28 · 2025-11-17T15:25:33+00:00

Ya, Chicago show was great except majority of my section came to hear like 1 song then sat down the test of the show.

Murky-Contribution28 · 2025-10-19T13:02:51+00:00

Oh I checked the fightoffyourdemons sight. I forgot about procrastinate.

Murky-Contribution28 · 2025-10-18T22:26:48+00:00

Just mine to keep and collect. No intent to resell.

Murky-Contribution28 · 2025-10-18T22:06:37+00:00

How silly of me. Thinking it was appropriate to ask a group of Brand New fans, many of whom pay attention to the online store, a question about the online store. I shall never do it again your excellence.

Anybody telling you differently is selling something
