[–] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 50 points 1 year ago

Speaking as a surgical tech: hospital janitorial staff, and sterile processing staff. They are INVISIBLE until something goes wrong, then everyone likes to bitch and point fingers, but they bust their asses constantly to keep us from becoming a giant pathogen cocktail. Hospitals would be fucking disgusting in the scope of like, idk, 2 hours, without those peeps.

Been a little bit since I put one of them in for an award. I think it's time to flex my keyboard again.
