Don’t touch me. And I won’t touch you.
Last week I was at the local hospital with my daughter, she was in for some surgery on her shoulder and leg. So we're in a pre-op room with several other patients on gurneys awaiting surgery, and doctors and nurses. Doctor comes up to shake my hand, and I offered a fist bump instead. Laughed at how some of my relatives are now in the habit of fist bumping to avoid catching germs. I'm just surprised at how they're so lax in hand contact in a surgical setting. True it was a pre-op room, but lots of unknown people coming in and out is an easy way to spread germs.
Does this mean we can stop the hand shaking in Church finally?
