        Why have all those Sanitizers around? Aren't they being used or are they useless?

        It's simple. Wash your hands when you enter the room. Shake your patient's hand. Then wash your hands again and put on gloves before exam.

        I've worked in medicine a little over 10 yrs. I'm only 36 but I guess I'm 'old school' and believe in true ethical medicine.

        Palpate the abdomen, check pupil dilation, throat? Basic things that take very little time and could effectively catch problems early.

        How about wash your hands or use hand sanitizer before going in or coming out of every patient's room.
