I would assume that the idea is that these med school students will carry their iPad habit into their practices. If it's tough to get doctors to wash their hands between patients or before surgery (http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/09/science/09conv.html?_r=1&hpw http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/09/science/09conv.html?_r=1&#...), what're the chances that the iPad gets washed? Smudge magnet and germ vector.
- gte910h 16y agoThere are already computers there. There are these little wipe thingys they're supposed to use on stuff like iPads.

There was one study done in the hospital that I work at(not public, sorry) that showed that the doctors(not nurses or admin staff) were the ones not complying with the hygiene requirements and they were the ones causing most hospital acquired infections. Of course the doctors are not held liable for such behaviour so nothing can be done to fix that.
