Huh. It may be because I’m not exactly neurotypical, but I am not only the child of immigrants, I came to the Americas as an 11 year old. (Ok so it’s the U.S, which also might skew things) I did NOT clamp onto my parents identity. I love being an American (right down to bitching about how bad it can be, and how much things need to change)
My husband was born in Alabama with a Korean mother and also does not think of himself as anything other than American. Again, tho, he isn’t neurotypical. Hm.
Hey, I used “wherewithal” the way you use the word, but my husband corrected me (and the dictionary confirmed it) that the word basically means money/resources (just fyi)
I’d think the reason for foot protection in a hospital setting is more to protect you from their illnesses, or drop damage (say, a needle or other sharp object)
I suppose I must confess. I’ve worked in dental, so I’m familair with sterilization proceedures/ ppe. I remember learning to wear hard shoes (hardly any one does in reality) to avoid what I mentioned above
It’s strange that employees would be barefoot, but I still don’t really see how feet are any more dangerous than any other part of the body, especially given that they’re surely not handling the materials with their feet!
I can accept that I’m wrong, it just seems strange to highlight the bare feet as a primary issue unless somehow the bacteria in the drops are a type most often found on feet
I see. I figuered as long as they’d wear hair nets, masks, coats and gloves it shouldn’t matter what’s going on with their feet- but I suppose that could make sense? Idk, It still feels like a strange thing to be fixated on…
