Ok, I’ll play. Could it be surgeons don’t want to possibly infect patients with openings in their bodies to germs?
Could it be it’s not for the docs - but for the patients? Huh?
I mean, that’s why they wash their hands and arms for 20 minutes, isn’t it?

That was my first thought, exactly. But are the lungs - with an opening to the outside - that much less vulnerable? I really have no idea. And that’s why I threw it out for discussion.
