A nurse shouldn't smell like she just smoked an entire pack of cigarettes. If my nose wrinkles at the foul odor of stale smoke on one of the hospital caregivers, imagine how the patient struggling with nausea must feel as the same nurse leans over them to listen to their chest. Twenty years ago, hospitals started banning smoking inside their buildings, so why is it that both staff and patients still smoke just outside the front doors, in the gardens and off of the loading docks?
What do you think?
