They put all necessary supplies and surgical tools to be used by doctors and nurses. Not only that but they keep track of all items used during surgery to make sure nothing is misplaced. Once everything is done they clean up the room and deliver the patient to recovery. These important responsibilities contribute to the success of surgical operations. Without them everything would be mess and very disarray.

Reflection: 

       I would not like to an operating room technician because I do not want to see people in surgery with all the blood. It is not something I would be interested in for my future career. I would chose something different and something I actually like to be doing.
