Comments about ‘Program will monitor Md. doctors' handwashing’

Send in the government to monitor handwashing. Start in the bathrooms in college dorms.

I just saw a guy come out of the stall and not wash his hands. I saw him in the hall shaking other peoples hands. So I called him on it in front of everyone. The guy was pretty upset about it. Probably ruined a business deal, but hey, he didn't wash his hands. Nasty.

Who needs the government. Every time you see a guy who doesn't was his hands, do what I do and call him out in public. (HwP)

Whenever I visit any doctor or dentist I make sure he or she washes his or her hands in front of me.

I once had a dentist who objected saying he had just washed his hands. I told him that if he expects me to pay his bill he'll wash his hands again. Not only did he wash his hands but he also lost me as a patient. I told anyone in our neighborhood who would listen about this experience. I'll do it again if I get any pushback from physicians.
