Captions available
The idea
The scrub person's core skill during surgery is anticipation: having the next instrument or supply ready before the surgeon asks.
In practice
The textbook describes the scrub person's experience as allowing close collaboration with the surgeon, anticipating the surgeon's next move while keeping the field sterile.
Where people slip
Anticipation never means guessing and acting alone; when unsure, ask.
