This topic reminds me of the difference in surgical care at the Alpha Klinik in Munich compared to standard practice in the U.S.
Meticulous protocols are observed in Germany; here, "lax" is the most polite way I can describe the sanitary procedures. It's alarming what is allowed in the operating theater and on the attending personnel in the U.S.
