They're workers, not visitors.

Because of my job, I am in and out of hospitals constantly. One of the MAIN REASONS germs spread - perhaps the #1 reason - is unwashed hands.

I don't give a crap if the Muslims have an aversion to alcohol. They're not drinking it, for crying out loud. I don't care if it's the Women's Christian Temperance Union.

It's black and white: YOU WORK IN A HOSPITAL. WASH YOUR HANDS OR YOU'RE FIRED!
