I’m also confused about people calling other people out on hand hygiene. Unless that person is about to go and operate on your loved one or go cook your food, then shaking your head internally and keeping your mouth closed is probably best.

Glad she was called out.

He didn’t wash his hands or put on gloves and immediately he started tossing the food that was in the wok :look:. I went back to the counter for a refund :barf:.

You should have told them the reason why or at leats yelp it.

I’m confused why anyone would post about this if it happened to them.

They themselves may not be operating on your loved one or cooking your food but how do you know that the next person that they touch with their dirty hands isn't your doctor or your cook? How do you know that they won't contaminate the next surface that you or your child touch?

You can't get rid of all germs but you can reduce their numbers greatly by practicing proper hygiene.

Both my doctor and my cook should both be thoroughly washing their hands directly before dealing with me or my food so this is a non issue. I’m more concerned about people touching their phones, which are very nasty, then touching me than I am about someone touching my doctor.

I don’t and never have disagreed with your last sentence.

That's my MO outside of my job, but at work I don't play any games. It's bad enough that I'm already working in a cesspool of filth. I don't need anyone making it worse especially from medical professionals.

The major culprits from my observation are white male MD's. I literally saw one resident sneeze directly into his hands and proceed to touch the keyboard to type medical orders in. It was bad enough that he was an orthopedic specialty so no telling how many dressing changes he did with his bare hands on these patients who had open wounds .

I called him out in front of everyone, told him to get up and wash his hands, and promised him if I ever see it again I'm reporting him. The room was silent for like 3 seconds :look:
Surgeons are the worst. The only really bad altercation I’ve had with a doctor was demanding he scrub before he did a dressing change on my infant patient.
