    Not gonna lie there’s lots of studies that greenery really does help avoid that institutionalized white room effect and things such as ICU psychosis, but also there’s a reason why potted plants were removed from patient rooms because yeah plants can carry a ungodly amount of bacteria. Still would say the most dangerous place in a hospital are bathrooms family members use after raw dogging into Meemaws iso room without PPE.

      believe this a million percent

      my mom was in the hospital for a few weeks a couple years ago, and I got to see how my family members washed their hands

      it was horrifying

      I am early 40s, nobody under 30 spent any time in that room, they should all know better

        i know just from my experience in various office work places that guys even doing a cursory rinse of their hands is about 1 in 2… and even lower worse odds they actually use soap

        Having to tell family members that “no you are not allowed to go into a cdiff room without a gown and mask” and then watching them eat off their family members meal tray is one hell of an experience. Enjoy the worst satanic diarrhea y’all have ever had.
