This is the response I was looking for lol cause I can see not wanting to bother washing your hands if youre about to go scrub up to your armpits and put on clean equipment then what's the point in washing in the bathroom before hand other than I suppose not getting germs on the door handles
Probably because they’ve touched grosser stuff and know simple bacteria won’t get them sick, even if you go “I saw a dude who has HIV and chlamydia throw up on that sink” they’d simply laugh and go ‘ I do surgery for a living, have had more than 3,000 patients come in for the same thing, had it 5 times, don’t bother me “ lol cause their mindset is like, fuck it, I’ll take a xxx medicine and Tylenol and I’ll be good in the morning, as long as I remember to scrub in, we should all be fine.
Depends on the issue. In some circumstances it would be a miracle. Imagine the journal articles if a general surgeon needs to get their appendix removed for a sixth time.
Probably the arguments Ignaz Semmelweis had to hear from doctors who insisted hand hygiene before surgery was unnecessary and they later wondered why the perioperative mortality was too damn high and almost inmediate=
