Why do so many doctors refuse to wash their hands?!


Question: Why do so many doctors refuse to wash their hands!?
If you're a doctor, no offense! However, I've seen several articles in the papers and Readers Digest the last few years saying that more than half of all physicians don't wash their hands between patients!? Why!? Doctors are supposed to help heal people, but so many of them neglect this very important, and basic hygiene practice of washing their hands!. I have had to ask more than one dr!. if they would please wash their hands before treating me, especially if they're going to put their hands in my mouth! Any guesses as to why so many doctors refuse to practice such basic hygiene!? After all, medical offices and hospitals are full of germs!Www@Answer-Health@Com
