Gloves on "forensic" shows
![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
Yet another clear example that I'm just way TOO retentive--and have problems suspending disbelief.
On TV shows like CSI (any flavor), Crossing Jordan, etc. etc. it drives me NUTS when the doctors are gloved up and their phone rings and then they proceed to ANSWER THE PHONE WITH THEIR GLOVES ON! Now, yes, if all they're doing is handling some non-biohazardous materials, yes I can see that and that doesn't make a vein in my head twitch. But I've seen it after whatever character's handling a murder victim. So, with that, tell me.
[Poll #467510]
Hey, I've got to get some polls in, I pay for them.
P.S. I actually keep a couple of boxes of polyurethane gloves around the house for different tasks. Really.

In forensic pathology, you wear gloves to keep whatever's on the patient off you.
That said, I ain't touchin' that phone until it's been sanitized. Screw you, YOU answer it. = )
Also, CSI is a load of bollocks. They basically just Make Shit Up for almost every episode.

As much as I get sucked into CSI, sometimes I just want to scream at the screen.
yeah man!
Also, if they're trying to keep a scene "as is" why the heck aren't they wearing hairnets and other such containment gear?
grrr.
Re: yeah man!
See, we're on the same wavelength.

Yes, I think we should have the phone sanitizers stick around a bit.

I'd meant to write that the other day.

maybe the Dr.'s kept their cellphones germ free. *_*
Plus maybe they disinfected it also before bringing it into the operating room.
or maybe we pay too much attention to shows
