I think once when this was posted they said doctors would see other patients and even perform autopsies then do surgeries with no hand washing between.
Comment on What do mean things so small we can't see them with the human eye? Are you crazy?

What I’m wondering is why the midwives for some reason had cleaner hands hand the male doctors?

They weren’t dealing with other sick people I imagine. Also I bet they tended spend more time with each patient since they only did one specialist task.

Are you really wondering?
State your case and move on. You are probably filled with foolish ideas too. We all are. All you can do is grow.

I have no idea what you are on about, but yes I am genuinely wondering

Did you not research the phenomenon a bit? Google it?
One hypothesis is that they didn’t touch the stuff that the doctors touched.
I mean I’m getting that your question is rhetorical. Which is to say it doesn’t get to the point quickly.

There was nothing rhetorical about the question. He asked a question. Rhetorical doesn’t mean anything about getting to the point quickly. It means a question that doesn’t need an answer.

What the actual fuck is your problem? Completely insufferable.

The doctors at the hospital were also doing autopsies and would go directly from an autopsies to the delivery ward without washing their hands.
The midwives did not perform autopsies.
It was not that the midwives' hands were especially clean, it was that the Dr's hands were very contaminated.
