I'm in exactly the situation described at the begining of the post.PeteVuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04813958292271257347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5768592003130681982.post-84147120027592126262010-02-26T12:49:47.223-08:002010-02-26T12:49:47.223-08:00Dear Anonymous, this posted blog may be a 'rea...Dear Anonymous, this posted blog may be a 'reason' for something, but you're not going to get outta blood-n-guts in the hospital! <br /><br />Advice: develop pro-active self-protective measures such as 'baggy' Rx or other protection such as washing hands frequently, no touching face, etc. no eating food that has to be handled, keep your immune system fit as a fiddle, and watch the covered drink containers. <br /><br />As a hospital pharmacist with only risk being 'healthcare worker' I 'managed' to contract a communicable disease. On later reflection, I realized that had the manager not refused to install 99.99% alcohol foam near the out-patient dispensing counter (since the sink was clear across the pharmacy and past the counter visible area) it might have reduced infective chances and increased my productive years working for that company. (However, the manager's reply to this request was "no one else contracted the illness, now, did they?" So?
