The last one I visited had dust/mold/grime caked on the a/c vent, and a nurse kept trying to hand me the TV remote which I refused to touch because it had droplets of dried BLOOD on it. *shudders*Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37811152.post-74331864548281966132012-10-31T11:25:52.395-05:002012-10-31T11:25:52.395-05:00Wait!

Isn't the how-ridiculous aspect not that somebody has to clean it now, but rather that people (not directing this at you personally in any way), many people, have been conditioned to accept that a dust buildup and/or lack of janitorial service or housekeeping is normal and acceptable?<br /><br />All commercial facilities like hospitals and offices have reduced the janitorial services and maintenance to the point that build-up of dust, dirt, and mold even occur, and I think that's wrong. It's a HOSPITAL, for crying out loud. I rather think that sanitized and "clean as a whistle" used to be the default standard and should still be.<br /><br />(Yes, that same crayzee ex-RN-student still reads you, LOL!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37811152.post-12470460357013424082012-10-29T18:41:55.181-05:002012-10-29T18:41:55.181-05:00Let sleeping spores lie.Let sleeping spores lie.CrownedwithVictoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15139186237180334168noreply@blogger.com
