Why should I wash my hands? (a little bracket detailing the number of people I'm likely to kill, etc, would be useful!) Why should I keep a surgical patient normothermic? (a little bracket detailing how many wound infections I might cause) And so on... Given all people tell us to do, understanding priorities such as: we can have some variation in how you do X and Y but NOT Z BECAUSE if Z isn't done correctly, some number of people will die, might be really helpful!<br /><br />Great post!Chrissy Kistlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05271220431873938543noreply@blogger.com
