Hello All,

I have recently begun my scrubbing journey and am left-handed. My right hand is chopped liver.

I've tried to find info online about how to be safer with passing suture, etc., and what I'm finding is that left-handers suffer more needle sticks and should learn to be right-handed as much as possible when scrubbing.

Are any of you left handed? Do you have any advice? I am thinking that at minimum I need to learn to pass sutures and sharps right-handed, or be at the surgeon's left instead of right as much as possible...?

I appreciate any feedback, advice, resources, etc.!
