                       Friday, September 21, 2012

  Mrs. BLACKBURN. Mr. Speaker, in operating rooms and in hospitals 
across the great state of Tennessee, there is a team of professional 
and dedicated workers who serve us in some of our most frail and 
vulnerable moments. As we celebrate National Surgical Technologists 
Week, I rise to honor those surgical technologists who have dedicated 
their life's work to the care, service, and work of our healing.
  From processing surgical instruments to focusing on patient care and 
everything in between, Surgical Technologists are a crucial part of 
patient care. I ask my colleagues to join with me in thanking them and 
the Tennessee Association of Surgical Technologists for their works of 
mercy, especially during National Surgical Technologists Week.
