They wash hands and wear gloves routinely. And here’s a really big one, most infectious agents are brought in by patients; now, are you ready for this— Because hospitals are collecting points for sick people.
Yeah, I’m ready for your sarcastic reply, but it was not necessary because I stated what I have & many others have experienced. Why would you make a legitimate post snarly about the “common people?”
My idea about cleanliness means when you enter my exam room or hospital room.......I don’t care if you’re the janitor, a nurse or the most prestigious surgeon in the world,.....strip off your gloves, throw them away, wash your hands, wipe down your stethoscope & THEN touch me.
I have an autoimmune disease & used to be hospitalized at least once a year long ago. Knock on wood! Never saw the handwashing, & changing of gloves like you say is happening. Neither do others. It is ingrained into us to not question the medical establishment, but we need to start politely requesting that they wash their hands every time they come into the room. I say this with great respect for many of the wonderful people who have treated me.
