Using an alcohol swab, ostensibly to prevent infection, on someone
who will be dead in an hour seems to speak for itself
Well, perhaps it's for the sake of the doctor, either to reassure him
that what he's doing is a normal medical procedure, or perhaps only so
he won't get out of the habit of disinfecting when he's dealing with
people he's trying to save!
Thank you, Howard, for a sane and reasoned take on a difficult
subject.
all the best -- Dan Ford
