Touch

In the next afternoon, CM (our research collaborator from England) actually came around and visited our unit. It goes without saying we dined together that evening.

I must say he was most entertaining in social chats:

"You know, not too long ago, the infectious disease control people came to our dialysis unit and did a hygiene check and all that to all of our staff - doctors, dialysis technicians, hospital amah, et cetera." He said.

"How about the nurses?" One of us asked.

"Oh, they were not screened - our nurses never touch patients. They just do documentation and paper work."

"In that case, many of our colleagues could be excused if we have such an infection control screening!" I said to myself.
