UK allows Muslim nurses to not wash to protect their ?modesty? | EUTimes.net

Well, after all, everyone else is unclean in comparison.

did you read the link? Muslim staff escape NHS hygiene rule - Telegraph

The dispute is about having bare arms, not about the need to scrub up

Ever wash your hands while wearing a long sleeve shirt? The only issue that matters is patient safety, not modesty.

yep, I rolled up the sleeves

Bingo.

If you hadn't you would have either gotten your sleeve dirty, or you would have not gotten your hands as clean. This is exactly why nurses, and doctors, should not where long sleeves, or jewelry.

oh fuck that bullshit!

Unless said sleeves are changed after touching each patient...and again before touching another different patient..... they will spread sickness, disease and possibly death.


how about we just label them all typhoid muslims and only allow them to treat muslims.



relaxing rules to accommodate religious nutters is not a good idea.

I wouldn't care so long as they can only work on fellow Muslims.

Very applauding, but of course the residential leftist scumbags support. I digress. What will the brain-dead Dpt Head say to the first sick Englishman who says I don't want that dirty Muslim (in usually the case, but it's esp true in this one ) working on me, get that Christian African nurse that actually CLEANED HER FUCKING HANDS!!!

The Dpt Head will ignore her rights then! Fucking brain-dead PC bull shit!

 

[GHook93]

I don't care what religion you are, if you are going to tend to a patient, do a procedure, whatever, wash your bloody hands.

You worthless bigot!

Speeding up Sepsis Care Can Save Lives...

Study Finds that Speeding up Sepsis Care Can Save Lives
May 22, 2017 | WASHINGTON — Minutes matter when it comes to treating sepsis, the killer condition that most Americans probably have never heard of, and new research shows it's time they learn.

Sepsis is the body's out-of-control reaction to an infection. By the time patients realize they're in trouble, their organs could be shutting down. New York became the first state to require that hospitals follow aggressive steps when they suspect sepsis is brewing. Researchers examined patients treated there in the past two years and reported Sunday that faster care really is better. Every additional hour it takes to give antibiotics and perform other key steps increases the odds of death by 4 percent, according to the study reported at an American Thoracic Society meeting and in the New England Journal of Medicine.

A strain of the Escherichia coli bacteria. E. coli is one of the germs that can cause sepsis.​

That's not just news for doctors or for other states considering similar rules. Patients also have to reach the hospital in time. "Know when to ask for help," said Dr. Christopher Seymour, a critical care specialist at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine who led the study. "If they're not aware of sepsis or know they need help, we can't save lives." The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention last year began a major campaign to teach people that while sepsis starts with vague symptoms, it's a medical emergency. To make sure the doctor doesn't overlook the possibility, "Ask, 'Could this be sepsis?'" advised the CDC's Dr. Lauren Epstein.

Sepsis is more than an infection

Once misleadingly called blood poisoning or a bloodstream infection, sepsis occurs when the body goes into overdrive while fighting an infection, injuring its own tissue. The cascade of inflammation and other damage can lead to shock, amputations, organ failure or death. It strikes more than 1.5 million people in the United States a year and kills more than 250,000. Even a minor infection can be the trigger. A recent CDC study found nearly 80 percent of sepsis cases began outside of the hospital, not in patients already hospitalized because they were super-sick or recovering from surgery.

There's no single symptom

In addition to symptoms of infection, worrisome signs can include shivering, a fever or feeling very cold; clammy or sweaty skin; confusion or disorientation; a rapid heartbeat or pulse; confusion or disorientation; shortness of breath; or simply extreme pain or discomfort. If you think you have an infection that's getting worse, seek care immediately, Epstein said.
