The box of gloves in the exam room unsecured?
In the ER and in doctor's offices the boxes of latex gloves are left out where anyone can touch them, fondle, contaminate, etc.
Hasn't anybody noticed the problem with this? People are left sitting in the exam room waiting, ALONE, for a while and who knows what they do to the gloves! The doctor comes in, puts on a set of gloves and touches the next patient without thought that maybe the last patient contaminated the gloves with who knows what.
I don't like that this can happen.
I'll be completely honest here, I have fondled the damn gloves myself numerous times. I never wash my hands either. Why can people like me (and worse) touch the gosh darn exam gloves?? Someone needs to stop us. What if some weirdo brought some kind of pepper spray into the gynecology office and put it on the gloves?? I'm not going to do that but, you know, someone might!
