Did you notice anything else that was done wrong?
What about neglecting to clean beds before a new patient moves into it?
I bet you Doc wore a wrist watch, many do and you can't wash your hands properly with a wrist watch or long shirt sleeves on.

I am not daft enough to think everything is rosy in our hospitals in fact saw this last year when Mum broke her hip. When they took her down to x-ray noticed blood under where the trolley was sat that wasn't hers indicating the cubicle hadn't been cleaned. She was also had a blood soaked dressing left on her leg for three days. My sister did send a letter of complaint off.
The problems are caused by a number of things IMO, to much money being spent on management instead of bottom line services such as decent cleaners. Nurses coming in from university and not being trained as they used to be in the importance of cleaning thoroughly. We could go on all day about the inadeqacies of how things are being run in the NHS today but surely basic hand washing and using hand gels are things that all workers in our hospitals should have ingrained in them!!!
