Tech in Surgery Prep / Unit 1   TSC 006 short lesson, about 20 seconds

The Patient Comes First

Captions available

The idea

The textbook names the patient as the most important member of the surgical team, in a mostly passive role.

In practice

Before surgery the patient gives a history and allergies and follows instructions such as fasting; under anesthesia, the patient trusts the team completely.

Where people slip

That trust is the reason behind every safety step in this course, including the ones that feel slow.

Your place on the trail

Every lesson rests on earlier ones and opens later ones. Tap any to jump.
