Virgilio Fernando

Surgical Technician,
USMD Hospital at Arlington

"This is an exciting job. Even though you may stand for hours, it’s dynamic, and you never do the same thing any two days in a row. It keeps your mind thinking. And it’s gratifying to see the results — so many people are better right away after surgery."
