Health Care Workers Equipments and Dress Code- A potential source of nosocomial infection

A colleague from UKM approached me, to do an interesting survey on medical students' dress code and its relationship with nosocomial infections.

Have you ever wonder that you might be a source of serious infections within the hospital settings? The lab coat you are wearing everyday, then you carry it back to your hostel or into the lecture theatre and so on. The stethoscope you use everyday to auscultate chestsssss of different patients, do you clean it before you proceed to next examination??

Please participate in our poll on the right side of the website, just take your time and choose the answer. Let see what is going on everyday around us!!

Thanks to Mr. Levin from Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia for his inputs and ideas. Thanks to all visitors and medical students who spend their precious time reading our blog and answering the poll.
