        He did not wash his hands or use sanitizer or clean the equipment he used. He did not use gloves when he was touching my face. He was using the computer & typing & touching my eyes at the same time. I was embarrassed to say anything. I practiced as a critical care nurse. I'm glad I now have the opportunity to express this concern. My other doctors & techs ALWAYS FOLLOWED UNIVERSAL PRECAUTION. I truly appreciate the care delivery I have always received .
