I was reading an article recently that discussed some study that revealed (surprise, surprise) health care provider's wrist watches are covered in wee-beasties and can spread infection. I'm trying to find the article/study.
I didn't need a study to tell me this previously, so I typically Cavicide the f*** out of my watch and steth daily, but this probably isn't enough. Take a microbiology lab course and you realize that all of our "sterilization" and "antimicrobial" efforts are a joke.
I brought this topic up in my CNA class, and the consensus of the genius panel was "don't wear one and use the clock on the wall."
Easy for them to say.
Any brilliant ideas on how to keep time without wearing a wrist watch or walls to put clocks on?
