A good reason to dress down
As if I didn’t have enough reasons to be germ-paranoid already, apparently a study shows that doctors’ neckties are “germ reservoirs,” harboring “potentially disease-causing bacteria.” I never thought about this before. What about doctors’ jackets, sleeves, etc.? Ugh. It’s enough to give me OCD.
What about their shoes and their suits? It’s better for the docs to dress like the patients – in hospital gowns.
