I’ve been reflecting on how essential we are in the operating room during orthopedic surgeries. For instance, did you know that PAs often assist with tasks like suturing and managing post-operative care? I’m curious about others’ experiences — what surgical procedures do you find most challenging or rewarding?
And absolutely, I’ve found the transition from assisting in the OR to managing post-op care really rewarding. One tip I learned is to start the discharge planning early — having everything set beforehand eases the transition for both the patient and the team. What’s been your go-to strategy for effective post-op management?
It’s so true! I find suturing in the OR to be challenging but super rewarding. What specific techniques do you use to improve efficiency?
