Please DO let me know the follow up. I’ve spent what feels like half my life with an asthmatic child in ERs. He’s grown now, so I’ve no idea of how they operate today. But back in the day, an asthma attack was treated like a heart attack ... we’d walk into the ER (when he wasn’t taken by ambulance) and within minutes he was behind the door going thru the initial screening. It usually was hours and hours before they would decide if he should be admitted or sent home.

Wonder if the doc used one of the ubiquitous antibacterial spritzers in lieu of traditional washing his hands? At out local hospital, Purell stations are placed about every 3’.

I will let you know when I have the chance to find out. As for the doctor’s sanitary practices, from what I gleaned, this one doctor went from one patient directly to another without using any type of hand sanitation whatsoever. Since I wasn’t there I can only report what was stated to me.
