Doctors Against Washing Hands in The City of Accra

Philistine physicians! They were in 'our building' all week. It is really their building as we are tenants. In these terrible days when the public-health people are advertising pathological handwashing to prevent Cholera (and other conditions) every single doctor we saw at the loo simply zipped up after and left the men's room. We hope the sterilising standards were higher in the ladies' room. We must also hope that surgical gloves usage is widespread, but (even then) they have to touch the gloves first. Ewwwwww!

  3. Ewww I wonder if you can ask them to wash their hands before examining you. Maybe if every patient demand that it will help.

  5. Didi, yes. And they are not even embarrassed that there are witnesses to their tarty toilet habits.

  6. Pearsa, we are going to have to demand a hand wash one minute before examination. You're right.
