Why doctors don't wash their hands and other medical mysteries | Dr. Robert Pearl | TEDxDavenport
Physicians take an oath to first do no harm, and yet they contribute to 100,000 deaths a year from hospital-acquired infection. Research shows that one in three times when doctors go from one hospital room to the next, they don’t wash their hands, a simple step to avoid infection. At the same time, during the COVID pandemic despite not having the protective gear needed, physicians cared for severely ill patients, putting their own lives at high risk. Both actions seem illogical until you understand the medical culture that doctors learn in medical school and carry with them throughout their professional careers. A surgeon, healthcare CEO and highly acclaimed author, Dr. Pearl explores these medical mysteries, pulls back the curtain on the culture of medicine, and offers advice for people on how they can benefit from its positive side, but avoid the dangers that lurk in its shadows.
