People who do not wash their hands in hospitals will only give themselves anti-biotic immune bacteria. Nature's way of pruning?

You don't even need antibacterial soap, or so I've been told. Thorough handwashing with plain old soap will do the job nicely. And if the staff wants to give themselves the Bug That Ate MY Face (I remember that British tab headline), that's one thing. But when their laxness affects their patients, as it surely will, that's something else entirely.
