Hi Poirot,

Thanks for the insults, I can take them :)

So, hypothetically, in case anything like this ever actually came up, or something equivalent, you wouldn't support it ? Even though someone claimed it was a traditional cultural practise ?

i.e. even if someone waved the word 'culture' at you, you still wouldn't support it ?

Good on you, Poirot !

No diverting now >:)

Cheers :)

Joe

Dear Joe (Loudmouth),

Poirot pointed out the fact that the problem
doesn't exist.

Therefore I can only assume that you're simply
stirring.

I'll leave you to it.

Beautifully diverted, my sweet goose !

Love,

Joe

Nothing like that ever would come up....Loudmouth.

Are you suggesting that people "of any culture" trained in Western medicine would propose the non washing of hands in surgical procedure (or any medical procedure, for that matter)?

I'd love for you to explain how any culture could influence the British health authorities in the way you suggest. I hope you'll spell it out, because I'm all ears.

Notwithstanding that there are in the world people who know nothing of "germs" and who would not know the true "scientific" value of washing hands (although they would know the value of washing in general)....they aren't employed in British hospitals.

Do you think people who aren't scientifically educated in antisepsis would be employed by the British medical authorities? And just in case you do, do you also believe that they would be capable of any serious attempt to block hand washing in hospitals on cultural grounds

Lexi,

Of course, is right - you're stirring.

But I am amused at the positively pathetic supposition that you're employing.....try harder next time.

Just have to say...

Loudmouth puts up a baseless hypothesis.

and when Lexi points out that the problem doesn't exist.....

Loudmouth feels it's time to exercise his "diversion" line.

...his oft used and hackneyed line that he deploys every time someone out debates him or shines a spotlight on his shonky debating tactics.

He's a legend.

So that's a 'no' then, Poirot ?
