hygiene
we're in week 2 of our infectious disease sequence (which is, by far, the best-organized we've had so far).
we started with respiratory infections (rhinovirus, RSV, coronavirus, Strep pneumoniae, Legionella, influenza etc etc etc) and have moved to skin bugs and the diseases they cause (abscesses, necrotizing fasciitis, endocarditis, bone and muscle infections, toxic shock syndrome)
we've also had interesting talks on bioterrorism and flu pandemics.
there has been a marked upswing in hand-washing.
it's about time.
