I have been a surgical tech for 15years.  I have played a major role in surgical care at my facility, I am a NCCT TS-c and have never been discriminated against as such.  I hope you guys reconsider to include as as equals and make this fair.  I am very disappointed .  I know in my heart I have made a difference in my career which is disheartening to think all I have done , all of us has been for nothing with no recognition what so ever
