After I was summoned into the pre-surgery admittance area prior to my ADR surgery, my wife noticed a few moments later that a nurse opened the door to the area to announce something to another person in the waiting area. The nurse's foot crossed a painted line on the floor by an inch. That nurse could not return through the door she was standing in and had to exit the building and go back through the entire sterilization process before she could return to work...........which I found out takes a minimum of 30 minutes. Compare that with the typical scene in an American hospital where people who are actually working in the OR coming and going to the waiting room, etc.
