Sexy Fingernails....Or.....??

Aunt Marg, when I was an OR nurse, our doctors all had to be clean shaven and no long hair. All of us had to have short nails nicely trimmed and we nurses could not have hair below our collar line. Of course we had our heads covered, so I could never see the point of that, but it was law. Hair retains and exchanges more pathogens than the lay person will ever know. Long finger nails hide them as well.

I believe it, Lew, and as far as I'm concerned, those rules that guided nurses and doctors back in the day was the proper way.
