Check out this video!
Dear All, This is a brief explanation of the two second year show clips, a little something on hand washing and being happy (this sounds common sensical, but i learned that a lot of people, including myself, have been washing our hands in the wrong way, and i thought because it’s flu season, it may be helpful if we started washing our hands in the right way). The last bit on happiness is something we learned in psychiatry, which again sounds like common sense, but something that i didn’t really think of before, so hopefully you’ll find it somewhat helpful. Happy Holidays and Happy New Year! Jeff
How to wash your hands and cheer yourself up? How can you be this condescending before you’re even a doctor?
hmm,he doesn’t look Korean… he looks Japanese. Am I correct? (not being racist/mocking) just curious after reading a comment. I like guessing people’s nationalities.
thank you for explaining this. i’ve always wanted to know why.
looking better and better….
This video is misleading. He didn’t show the handwashing at all. It’s a waste of time. He should rename the title. A totally condufed chap,sorry to say it.
I’m a little OCD, but I like to wash my hands for a couple of minutes every once in a while.
I wash my hands throughout the day. Kind of a lot.
alchol is a powerful solvent. as it slips thru the lipid bilayer of a cell via pores, it denatures proteins, which is needed by the cell.
to answer someone else’s question, we don’t want to use alcohol all the time because, just like EtOH denaturing bacterial proteins, it can denature ours as well. however, our integumentary system protects us fairly well from inconsistent washing with EtOH. but that’s why we don’t do it all the time.
where did u come from?? are u like chinese? japanese? korean? vietnamese?? phipino? what are u??
One thing I don’t understand is the distribution of triclosan. It takes 2 hours to kill bacteria! They didn’t see this in the lab?
And why even use soap, why couldn’t we make an alcohol based liquid that kids all bacteria instantly with an almost zero change of antibacterial resistance?
i’ll ask a question?whats the odor of a person having a cancer of the liver?
at first, i also thought it was silly that we have to learn how to wash our hands. but to my surprise, i wasnt doing as it should be done. and i really had a lot to learn about hand washing and stuff. its cool how something we think is so simple could turn out to be so complex! good luck in med school!
we got examined in hand washing in 1st year… and in all clinical exams we have now, if we don’t wash our hands correctly or forget to wash them we automatically fail!
Great job with this video!!!
What are your thoughts on using something like purell vs using organic herbal or glycerin soaps?
nice salsa!
Hello, how does alcohol break down prokaryotes cell walls?
wow, isn’t it mandatory
Thanks a lot — happy new year!
Happy New Year to you too!
thanks a lot!
haha, yes — you’d be surprised how many doctors don’t wash their hands. the nosocomial infection rates at hospitals can be dangerously high in certain departments.
it’s interesting you mention this — the CDC says to sing happy birthday twice through.
haha, you bet!
thanks man!
thanks a lot for your comment! hand washing is so boring — i agree with you, but please try your best because it does make a difference. it’s very important in hospitals (to wash hands), but just as important in your home, because it keeps you from getting sick, the flu, etc… happy new year!
