A little retraining is in order
Remember these thermometers?
We now use them almost exclusively, because our good Welch-Allyns have all disappeared. Each one comes with five probe covers. So every fifth patient gets a free thermometer.
One of our techs was observed using one on multiple patients- sans probe cover- and wiping it off with an alcohol prep in between.
I only hope he was just using it orally.

That's like...wiping off a laryngoscope between uses with a damp paper towel. Gross.
Nahhhhrrsssty!
Hmmm-wait a minute, we just wipe our stethoscopes off in between patients - guess how much bacteria is spread that way? TONS.
You wipe your stethoscope off? Huh, I guess I need to start doing that...

I'm never going to the ER again! If I do, I'll bring my own thermometers. And stethoscopes... and in Vegas, my own needles... I better never get sick again... I'll be dead within hours. :รพ
