It may not sound glorifying but I recommend you talk to your scrub tech and see if you can step in for a case and be the tech.  I used to have younger residents scrub the case for a DHS or IMHS.  At the time they didn't appreciate it but later on realized how much it helped them.

I believe that when you step into their shoes you will understand how difficult that job can be and it will also help your surgical skills.  During the case you may only be thinking one step ahead.  But if you are the scrub you need to be thinking three or four steps ahead.

Try it.
