I don't get why a doctor can't wear sleeves, unless they are a surgeon, then it is a safety concern, but in a surgeon situation a metallic necklace also is, which could fall in a cut and infect someone.

And as for the EDL not causing trouble or being nasty....
Lovely individuals that get on well with the Police aren't they? Racist, ignorant, violent scum.

If you don't "get" it, then you obviously didn't read the article or any of the posts before Paralax began spouting his left wing drivel....
It's NHS guidlines to control superbug infection. No long sleeves and you are to wash with anti-bac gel up to the elbow. This is for all clinical staff, not just surgeons.
Except muslims, it seems....

What are the chances you will get a superbug from a long sleeve or a short sleeve? Probably not much of a difference.

I do believe Nationalism is only a few small steps away from Racism but I certainly understand that there are degrees of both.

It has to be said though that all Western medicine is grappling with the prospect of "superbugs, ironically because they were "too clean". This led to an environment where bugs would grow resistant to standard cleaning over time, giving rise to the "superbugs".
Although it is worth noting that NHS cleaning standards have slipped over the past several years, allowing not only the superbugs to spread mercilessly but also allowing the more common ones to gain a foothold.
This is a direct result of Government policy where they took away the power from Nurses to maintain hygiene and gave it to companies employing low-wage staff who where either too happy to cut corners or were inadequately trained to not know any better.

It makes sense that our defenses, if overused, would generate a strain resistant to them. But, if you believe this, why wouldn't the human body adapt as well? Why would our white blood cells be excluded from this adaptation? I don't believe that is the case.
