Wringing hands over washing hands

Does your hospital have a problem with hospital acquired infection? Probably not as bad as ours did over the last few years. We were struck with a new strain of C difficile and the horrors of seeing that thing stalking the corridors probably inspired this somewhat over the top lesson on how to wash your hands. It was posted in nearly all the washrooms of the hospital except for the physician lounge bathroom.

Don't like the quality of the photo? Well you try to inconspicuously photograph a poster in a public washroom with lousy light and a cellphone camera. Even if it was clear you might still have trouble if you can't read french, so I'll take you through it.

1) Wet your hands
2) Add 3-5 ml of soap
3) Lather up your hands
4) Rub the dorsum of your left hand with the palm of your right
5) Rub palm to palm
6) Rub the external surface of the fingers with the opposite hand
7)

Still want to go on? Don't forget the finale where they tell you which are the most neglected sites.

Somehow I don't think there is a single person, besides myself, who has gotten down to step 10. But I might be wrong because we have,in fact, got the C difficile thing under control.

Just out of curiosity, have you guys got around to using the alcohol based hand 'lotions' that now seem to be standard in the hospitals I work in? (You appear to be in Quebec - I am, of course, in the States.) They supposedly are more effective than soap and water and are easier to use. I have to admit that I love them - just slather some on before and after you see a patient and off you go.

Yes, we have them. Outside every room. With all the c. diff and mrsa around here, I've become obsessive-compulsive. The only problem is that they don't come with comprehensive instructions on how to use them.

I've just been letting everything wash over me. I just don't have much to say right now, but what can I say? I can't be bothered with anything these days. Such is life. I haven't been up to much lately.

I've just been letting everything wash over me. I've pretty much been doing nothing. I've just been sitting around not getting anything done.
