If you've been in hospital recently you will have probably noticed that they've gone all stringent on hand washing when you enter a ward. It's to stop bugs spreading. It is, apparently, a good idea ... if people follow the rules.
My wife (the doctor, need I remind you) just called me from Galway, in the west of Ireland, where she is visiting our brother-in-law in hospital where he is recovering from a hip operation. She told me she was mildly horrified to see the local priest travelling between the wards without washing his hands. He probably has more contact within the hospital than any other person and could single-handedly undo all the good hand washing done by all of the visitors and hospital staff who DO WASH THEIR EFFING HANDS.
Now I know that (apparently) God moves in mysterious ways, but I should hope that she doesn't send her agents round breaking rules and making people sick.
