My Grandmother , 96 years old, got her Furniture from her Grandmother. That furniture is more then 100 years old and still in good condition. The downside is it sucks hard. People at that time liked good looking things that where rly uncomfortable and impractible compared to furniture today.
Could be. There’s at least a link to the paper. Unfortunately it’s a preprint, not peer reviewed.
I can’t tell at a glance if the science is bs, but I can certainly tell that writing for a general audience before peer review is a shit thing to do and should certainly discount this article.
The OP hasn't commented in 3 months, and has submitted numerous articles from the same domain. The other mostly come from another domain with an identical UX.
"Responding to the request below for a specific example. Hand washing, you wash your hands when medically appropriate to prevent facility acquired infections. If you don't you are progressively warned ultimately leading to termination and/or loss of license. If instituted nationally this alone would save at least 5,000 lives a year. Good luck getting it instituted at most facilities."
Sad thing is most staff in hospital doesnt wash hands. Reality is it would cost so much time. Handwashing is like a minute and staff has to go in an out of rooms where hand washing is needed so many times an hour it would slow everything down. And then trying to fire staff about this is not real because this would kick out half of it and it isnt replaceble. The problem is more why has staff to get in and out of stations so frequently. And multiresitence bacteria.
I'm always terrified to see surgical caps and such on doctors in a hospital cafeteria. Also a nurse or surgeon wearing scrubs on public transit. Whether they're coming into work and carrying unknown filth into the facility, or leaving with deadly resistant hospital pathogens on high density transport... they're both terrible. Unless you're outpatient, don't wear scrubs to/from work. Don't be Dr Oz wearing your status on your shirt sleave for giggles while risking patients and public.
Specifically with handwashing which is a problem I have been very successful at solving, time is not the main factor. It is wear and tear on the hands and this comes down to the soap used and water quality, really. If you get those too things right people mostly find it no problem to wash their hands when appropriate. Also for non-medical people this is not washing your hands before surgery washing, this is routine washing between patients, bathrooms, and duties.
Regarding gloves, gloves don't solve disease transmission from dirty hands. You need both hand washing and gloves.
> Handwashing is like a minute and staff has to go in an out of rooms where hand washing is needed so many times an hour it would slow everything down.
Sounds like the workflow is poorly designed then. Use gloves instead of hand washing.
This is a joke. We want to have this but its like everything in germany if its about something digital. Its a fucking mess. Everyone can read it. Most doctors dont use it and even many insurance dont use it... its a fucking mess
Ok, but it’s digitalized, I didn’t say it was good. You can now directly go to an Apotheke with your insurance card and get your medication, even the prescription is digitalized.
"99,000 americans a year die from hospital acquired infections that are entirely preventable using procedures and operations (not surgeries) that are known and evidentially proven. It's just really hard to get all of the parts of the orchestra to play the same tune so those people die needlessly."
??? I dont get this. The problem are Antibiotic resistant bacteria. You go to a Hospital (ER) and have a open wound.. chances are you die of an infection. How is this preventable??? This is a big problem atm and there is no good solution. you cant test people if they come in bleeding like hell for Resistant bacteria.
I mean you can but ...
I would like to hear the solution to that problem. Thank you.
I once spoke with a nurse who said they have the walls scrubbed on a regular basis. I can't recall if it was daily or weekly, I think weekly.
They're not paying the nurses to do that, the people who are doing it probably consider it shitty work and I wouldn't be surprised if things get missed due to the sheer crappiness of the work.
I think there's probably a reality there that can't reasonable worked around. Sure, in theory a perfect scrub will solve the problem but how do you regulate that into effectiveness?
The best you can do is to design tools to make it less shitty but you'll never make it non-shitty.
In germany we have this allready but it doesnt work. It reduce the problem. But the real problem is ER. In a life death situation it doesnt work. ER are very hard to keep clean. But yes you are absolutly right
EDIT:// I am no doctor but did work in Hospitals. Doctor friends working in ER are telling me about those dangers. And also bigger Hospitals have less control about it.
220nm light is under investigation since it's germicidal but so far appears far less harmful to humans than other UV ranges. If those findings are validated we might see some permanent narrow-band, low-power UV lights in hospitals.
I speak fluent german and french. And I think yes. French has way less words then german or english. And for many things we dont have words but more desciptions. And french feeles more compressed in the sense that I cant take any word out of the sentence without taking the sense away. In english and German broken sentences still make sense if the context is given.
And some words to Paris. Yes people there are rude! But you have to understand that most People in France live there and WORK there. They give a fuck about tourism because there is so much other work there the town could skip on it. Thats why they are anoid by tourists. They go to work and some people ask them for things they dont care because they have to go to work. Paris is a dream in Summertime because so many people leave Paris because of summer vacations that it is totaly empty.
And yes American tourists are something special. You can see them 100meter away beeing confused why Paris is building houses in such an old fashioned way.
