Any scrub techs here had major surgery and returned to work fine? I’m having weight loss surgery done in 4 months and I’m supposed to return to work 2 weeks after surgery. I don’t think 2 weeks is enough time for recovery. I won’t be able to drink water and hydrate properly before a case, and I’m worried about lifting heavy instrument pans. Anyone been through this that could offer some tips? I work at a level 2 trauma center in Illinois. Constantly asking charge to find someone to replace me while I go hydrate is not something I can see happening.
