Sorry if my readers are sensitive to some very specific words like genitials, the lecturer actually used P***S and V*****. So I tried my best to put it mildly at the same time preserving the originality (truth) of the content..
"No running while eating.."
"No jumping or vigorous exercise after meals.."
"Don’t leave the table when the meal is still on.."
"Wash your hands before you eat.."
"Wash your hands after you eat.."
"WASH YOUR HAND AFTER YOU’VE USED THE TOILET!!!"
Is the last line somewhat familiar? The first two lines are scientifically true, as you’ll have a higher risk of getting appendicitis, and do a removal of your appendix. And we do know the reason to wash your hand before and after meals. BUT WHY wash your hands AFTER using the toilet? Did anyone ever wonder why NO ONE tells you to wash your hands BEFORE using the toilet? I personally love to wash my hands, i like the cool water running into my cupped hands, especially on a HOT day like these days. (By the way, did i mention i had been roasted last sunday? No? Ok, a story for another time then.)
Today, my lecturer ended his lecture with yet another food for thought. This time he said, " YOU MEDICAL STUDENTS, of all people, should apply LOGIC! in your life!!" @.@
"Why do you wash your hands after using the toilet?" My psychology lecturer asked.
"After using the toilet, my hands dirty ma.." ^^
"Why are your hands dirty? Do you PISS on it? No? So why?"
"Coz, uh.. we touch our private parts…"
"You meant to say your private parts is dirty? Mine is very very clean, you see, firstly, after bath i wiped it clean with a clean towel, then put on my undergarments, then my working shirt is kinda long, so it’s the second layer to it, then there’s my pants, so there are three layers protecting it!"
"Here’s the case. You see, that door? *points at the entrance to this lecture hall* Do you know how many pairs of hands touched that door? 200 students at the start of the day, in and out, 5 days a week. 2000 pairs of hands! And your private part? 1 pair (well, if it’s YOUR hands only). After that, look at your cafeteria’s tables. Do you know that those tables are the ones that have the MOST numerous amount of germs compared to any other objects in the cafeteria? Imagine yourself touch those, and then you touch your faces, do your hair.. It’s all germs. And then by the time you go to the toilet, you DON’T wash your hands before getting into the toilet. Then for males, you took out your wee wee and hold it and void. So it became dirty! *giggles, laughters* DUH! And you gals, you too did stupid things like, using your hands to roll up the toilet papers (so it’s full of germs!) then? You wiped your genitials with it. Full of germs! AFTER THAT? You guys and gals start washing your hands, and getting it dirty all over again and wipe yourself with dirty hands.."
Do you see where I’m going to? Yes! Wash your hands before going to toilet. Sure if you feel your hands are dirty after doing the business, wash it! But ALL THE MORE, wash them before you go to the toilet to do businesses!
