Why does everyone (or at least the majority of people imagine all real ORs to actually be run like this. It’s “glamorized” as a fast paced, high paying, high praising, career/job where you are tasked to save peoples lives, well you know what I mean... be a part of a team who come together to save a life. But it is true. Everyone at one point has done it. They have imagined this perfect career where all these things were going to happen a certain way and once you get there its one giant catfish. You are confused, a little lost, and tbh kinda pissed off. This is what you’ve been studing your ass off for?! I mean, I know we are certainly not a surgeon or a PA, but we sure do play a damn important role in this show. DEEEEP SIGH.
I will be first to admit it! I am guilty, before I even started school, I wanted to make a difference and I had the intent to do so. And so... just like everyone else, I signed up. I thought I had done all my research. I thought it was what I wanted. I went through it, for a whole year straight. I worked full time and went to school full time, And I regret nothing. I did somewhat get ahead in life and I am not bitter in the slightest.
This is just from my own perspective and my experience and I need a healthy way to let this all go. Writting things down seems to help others vent, so I thought I would try it, I have nothing to lose. I am a certified open heart surgical technologist and This is my story.
