Беседовал я как-то с главной сестрой хирургического отделения в крупной столичной больнице (600-800 коечных мест). И сказал ей, что вся эта ритуальная чушь - стерильные халаты и специальная обувь у сестёр и санитаров, всего лишь дешёвая имитация антисeптики.
"Не столь благотворна истина, сколь зловредна её ВИДИМОСТЬ!"
Франсуа де Ларошфуко.
Но даже ЭТО по степени септичности ничто, по сравнению с колёсиками тележек, на которых пациентов вкатывают в "стерильную операционную".
Сходу предложил ей сразу несколько простых решений этой проблемы, которые, конечно же, с возмущённым негодованием были с порога отвергнуты!
(Какой-то НЕмедик-неуч, ни секунды не сидевший на скамье учебного медицинского заведения, ни медбрат, ни фельдшер, а уж о ЗНАНИЯХ ВРАЧА и говорить не приходится, предлагает ей, ГЛАВНОЙ МЕДСЕСТРЕ с двадцатилетним опытом, какие-то идиотские идеи по антисептике!!! НАГЛОСТЬ! Хамство! Вон его из святилища операционной!)
"А воз и ныне там!"

Which item is 40 times dirtier than a toilet seat in a public toilet
A new study has shown that 40 times more bacteria accumulate on the wheels of a suitcase than on a toilet seat in a public toilet. This makes them the most polluted items that people encounter when traveling.
A group of scientists examined ten samples. The study showed that hundreds of colonies of bacteria and fungi were found in each swab taken from the wheel, which is much more than can be found in toilets.
These microbes are associated with food poisoning, infections, and even respiratory diseases.
Laboratory tests have shown that the suitcase's wheels contain 400 bacterial colonies per three square centimeters. This means that they are almost 40 times dirtier than the average toilet seat, which contains about 10 bacterial colonies.
The researchers claim that soft-body suitcases turned out to be worse than hard-body suitcases because their fabric retains moisture and dirt, which leads to mold formation.
But even more worryingly, many travelers unknowingly place these germ-infested wheels directly on beds, tables, and shelves in hotel closets when unpacking.
The study, published in InsureandGo, also showed that the bottom of the suitcase contained about 350 colony-forming units (CFU) of bacteria per three square centimeters.
Experts recommended not putting suitcases on the bed and always leaving them on the luggage rack or on the floor to avoid further contamination.

My comment.
I once talked with the Chief nurse of the surgical department in a large metropolitan hospital (600-800 beds). And I told her that all this ritual nonsense-the sterile gowns and special shoes of the nurses and paramedics was just a cheap imitation of antiseptics.
"Truth is not so beneficial as SEMBLANCE of truth is malignant!"
Francois de La Rochefoucauld.
But even THIS is nothing in terms of septicality, compared to the wheels of trolleys on which patients are wheeled into a "sterile operating room."
And I immediately offered her several simple solutions to this problem, which, of course, were rejected with indignation!
(Some non-academic who has never sat on the bench of an educational medical institution, neither a nurse nor a paramedic, let alone a DOCTOR's KNOWLEDGE, offers her, the CHIEF NURSE with twenty years of experience, some idiotic ideas on antiseptics!!! THE AUDACITY! Rudeness! Get him out of the sanctuary of the operating room!)
