Agreed, pretty much every hospital room I’ve been in has mystery stains on the ceiling. It’s so common that I’d point them out to my family members and we’d wonder out loud what the cause could have been.
Edit: there was even one room where I put on rubber gloves and used the disinfectant wipes from the janitor’s cart to clean dried blood from my IV pole and the bed rails.
- bin0 7y agoThat depends to which tier of hospital you go. On the other end, of course, I have a friend who had to get treatment in Italy and was required to bring her own needles. This was in-patient surgery. Also, the nurse tried to re-use them and called her a "wasteful American" when she told her to get a clean one.

Oww, come on, that is simply not true, in the last - say - 100 years in Italy (post WW1 emergencies). So, either your friend is very, very old, or she is making it up for the benefit of folklore. Until the '60's or maybe early '70's syringes and needles were not "use once and throwaway" but of course they were washed after every use and sterilized before a new use.
