Time to pull out the dumb list
The fomite train at the Binscombe Doctor Blog |
It's been awhile since we've visited the dumb list, a collection of really dumb things hospitals have done in the name of infection prevention. Here's the latest:
- Banning a wooden train from a general pediatric surgery clinic that does not care for immunocompromised children
Other banned items and activities from our archives:
- Christmas decorations
- Aquariums
- Flowers
- Sitting on the hospital bed
- Reducing hospital visiting hours from 4 hours to 3.5 hours
- Magazines in waiting rooms
Hat tip to Eli.
