Neither should be persecuted or denied the right to work in their chosen profession on the basis of their beliefs.<BR/>However, those beliefs cannot be allowed to interfere with the correct functioning of essential services or to put other people's lives at risk.Stephen Bainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17042496235288616270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2949467606786725531.post-90056210616147956832008-02-08T23:33:00.000+00:002008-02-08T23:33:00.000+00:00This threat of MRSA is real, once you allow the ba...This threat of MRSA is real, once you allow the bacteria to enter your bloodstream, only God will have to save your life. Patients as well as the doctors are at risk of contracting this infection unlike HIV & Hepatitis. One study found 60% of doctors had their hands colonized with enterococci after handling a patient with enterococci infection. <BR/><BR/>This refusal to wash and scrub their hands will leave the doctors or medical students at risk of carrying MRSA home and spreading this micro-organism to their own family and children.<BR/><BR/>As patients, we must refuse to be touched or treated by any doctor , nurse or medical student who refuse to wash their hands adequately (below elbow using soap and water for 15-30 seconds). You may be hated for being harsh, but this could save your life.<BR/><BR/>Indian higher cast people introduced untouchables because these people refused to wash themselves after cleaning toilets and were spreading bacteria in the community that killed healthy adults and children.<BR/><BR/>Only worry, I have is when people start treating all Asians to be Muslims, when there are Indians who are not Muslims, Afrocarabians who could be Muslims and Egyptians who look like Caucasians are Muslims.<BR/><BR/>Nature has its way of cleansing the society, this is one of the ways and I am sure there are a few more to come.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
