Multi Team Approch

What is very amazing about the surgery on these multi injured casualties is that there is usually 3 or more surgical "teams" working on the patient at the same time. You can have 2-3 general surgeons working in the abdomen, 4 ortho surgeons working on the lower extremities and the plastic surgeon working on the face or upper extremity.  The scrub tech definitely works FULL time.  Sometimes we have two scrub techs. It can get pretty crowded around the table so if you are into "YOUR SPACE" well you are out of luck
