I'm always amazed by people who think they can stop a virus or even a bacterium with harsh language and a good fist shaking. I'm not nearly as worried about what they may have as I am about them catching some glorious infection that I'm virtually immune to. Of course, that won't buy health insurance either.

The reason why I do not feel unsafe is because they will not go to work if they have a cold or flu. If they have a slight cold, they use a mask to put over their mouth. They also wear gloves at all times when performing a hands on situation with the patient. In fact, a home enviornment in nursing, and taking care of me, my doctor says it is better that I be at home than be in the hospital. I am sure that there are some situations which nurses, and aides do not belong taking care of patients, however, in my own personal situation, I am extremely cautious when letting someone into my home. Therefore, I have only a few nurses and aides that I will trust with my life that I know would never expose me to their own personal infections.
