Never carried my stethoscope around my neck again......and you still see just about every nurse and doctor doing that very thing! Great source of cross contamination!! All this concentration on hand washing between patients, and the biggest source of cross contamination is hanging around all their necks! |
Wow scary! So glad you were able to fight it off.
