I’d think the reason for foot protection in a hospital setting is more to protect you from their illnesses, or drop damage (say, a needle or other sharp object)
I suppose I must confess. I’ve worked in dental, so I’m familair with sterilization proceedures/ ppe. I remember learning to wear hard shoes (hardly any one does in reality) to avoid what I mentioned above
It’s strange that employees would be barefoot, but I still don’t really see how feet are any more dangerous than any other part of the body, especially given that they’re surely not handling the materials with their feet!
I can accept that I’m wrong, it just seems strange to highlight the bare feet as a primary issue unless somehow the bacteria in the drops are a type most often found on feet
And now I’m imaging them all in a bus, driving upward from someone’s toes, with a bumper sticker that says:
“Destination: EyeDrops”
I see. I figuered as long as they’d wear hair nets, masks, coats and gloves it shouldn’t matter what’s going on with their feet- but I suppose that could make sense? Idk, It still feels like a strange thing to be fixated on…
I didn’t read the article, though
I don’t really see how people chosing to be barefoot has anything to do with their ability to make eye-drops, unless the aforementioned people are using their feet to do it
I turned off auto-correct because it changed "Mary"to “Mark.” Like… wtf!
Of course, now I’m being forced to type properly and learn to spell. Win situation for me, in reality, but it’s also super annoying
