Career In Surgery

For this essay I will be reflecting on the influences on, how the role of the operating department practitioner (ODP) has developed within the multi-professional healthcare team. I will also be discussing in this text some of the historical, political, legal, social, and cultural influences of the ODP. And I will be reflecting on my personal experience working within the operating department for the first time as a student, using the Gibbs cycle (1988.).

Becoming a surgical technologist require a lot of dedication and tolerance, whether it's standing on your feet for hours or just simply preparing a patient for surgery. A surgical technologist is a person who helps to prepare an operating room by setting up sterile surgical instruments, equipment and supplies, such as drapes, gowns, gloves, suction tubing, and receiving solutions and medications from a circulator (jeff.org) Surgical technologist also ensure all technology used in the operating room is working properly.

Imagine waking up from kidney surgery only to realize that there are stitches not only on your stomach, but also on your chest. Imagine the doctor coming up and having to explain to you that his surgical tech got a weak stomach and with scalpel in-hand, fell and put a puncture wound large enough for stitches on your chest. You would be shocked at the severe lack of professionalism by the surgical technologist, and you would question the hospitals inequity.

Meanwhile, elsewhere in Habersham County, Tom was feeling slightly nervous as he exited the staff lounge and entered the hustle and bustle of County Hospital’s ER to begin his first shift as an RN. The first few hours of his shift passed slowly as Tom mostly checked vital signs and listened to patients complain about various aches, pains, coughs, and sniffles. He realized that the attending physician, Dr. Greene, who was rather “old school” in general about how he interacted with nursing staff, wanted to start him out slowly. Tom knew, though, that the paramedics could bring in a trauma patient at any time.

In Creela Belle Howard’s article “Legal settlements at Veterans Affairs more than tripled since 2011, many due to medical malpractice,” she argues that VA hospitals, known for having a history of scandals and malpractice, should start terminating staff members for malpractice. Howard presents credible evidence, as well as implementing emotion through heartbreaking examples of veterans who passed away at the hands of shiftless staff at VA hospitals throughout the country. The author also presents no bias by stating facts without opinions about her own personal views.

For my mentor project, I chose to shadow Dr. Kristen James, D.O., a young emergency room Physician (approximately 33-34) who works in the E.R. at Tenova North Knoxville Medical Center. The length of all emergency room shifts are twelve hours—7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., 7:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m., or 11:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m.— but for the sake of the well being of my mind and body, I only shadowed for a half of a shift (11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.). I had previously shadowed my father in the same emergency room for a twelve hour shift and I knew that I definitely did not have the stamina to make it through another one with a clear mind or comfortable feet. During this essay, I will be tying in some useful comparisons between shadowing my father vs. shadowing

The implementation of the European Time Working Directive (EWTD in respect of doctors in training (NCHDs) was adopted into Irish Law in 2004 and state that ideally the working week should be no longer than 48 hours. Restrictions on working hours represent a corresponding restriction on the amount of direct surgical practice a trainee can have and push us to explore other means of training that are more focused and efficient. Deliberate practise can offer a means of developing surgeons skills that is more time effective and does not rely on scheduled theatre hours.
