"fun" fact - there could potentially be thousands of deaths attributed to Drs simply not washing their hands.

IIRC they even basically got some hospital admin fired for creating a hand washing mandate, despite it being proven to save lives.

Looks like its still a "recent" issue, lol https://www.nytimes.com/2006/09/24/magazine/24wwln_freak.htm...

That further improves the analogy. Even though we all agree washing hands is important and saves lives, it still doesn't happen on occasion.

It does, but it also suggests that there is no easy fix.
