(GERM ALERT: CAN YOUR DOCTOR’S WATCH MAKE YOU SICK)
About this article, I learned that there are two consequences of how doctor’s watch make people sick. First of all, according to Royal Hallamshine Hospital in the United Kingdom, watches increase the risk of spreading infections to patients. A doctor’s watch has a lot of bacterias, so people must be careful about who is going to check them. Another important consequence is that patients can die because of irresponsible doctors that do pay attention to important things that is the health of millions of people that put their lives on doctor’s hands. For instance, from 2007 until now, more than 2 million people die for doctor’s neglect. There can be no doubt that not always doctors can help us with our health. Now I know that if each one lives does not take care of his or her lives, nobody can do it; we just need to remember the live is the most important that everybody have to take care of.
