RE: Ambulances, Stethoscopes, Hospital Curtains: Beware of Fomites
Thank you for your very good research and all the informations. Up to now i did not think about the curtains in a hospital....

Hi, @ditsch
I appreciate that very much. I was a little disgusted about the curtains. Can't believe some places don't change them at all unless they "look" dirty. Oh my heavens.
Thanks for your feedback and support.

Not to mention wheelchairs... every entrance to the hospital is supposed to have some on hand to wheel in sick patients, but how many have staff members or volunteer sanitize wheelchairs between uses?
To hear that stethescopes that allegedly were cleaned did not prove to be clean... ewww.
My dad's aversion to hospitals and doctor office makes more sense now....
Thank you for another very informative and interesting news item, agmoore!
Thank you @carolkean, for that endorsement. I agree with your father. A total aversion, here, also. I once signed myself out of a hospital against medical advice, and another time threatened to do the same. So they let me go. Actually, they can't hold you. People don't realize that. Insurance companies still pay, no matter what the hospital says. Why wouldn't they? You save the insurance company money :))
I'm heading over to Owasco's we-write. This blog had me distracted so I'm late. A hurried story, but still supporting her by participating.
See you over there.

I'm so happy to hear you plan to tackle that We-Write - in support of @owasco, if not for fun and a chance to show off your writing talent. With your knowledge of hospitals and doctors, you have a lot to bring to the story. And your medical knowledge... you could write thrillers set in the health care industry!
