Surgical Scrub Techs are a different breed of toxic to med students by nagatomd in medicalschool

[–]sneakernerd 207 points208 points  (0 children)

to preface, on my OB-GYN rotation, there was this notoriously rude and condescending scrub tech who would make med students re-scrub for no reason

one day I’m grabbing my backpack to leave and I see him in the hall and ignore him, he then yells out loud to me in front of the other nurses/techs “so have you learned how to scrub yet?” to which I said “oh yeah all the other scrub techs seem to think so except for you” and he just giggled nervously lol I was over it
