That's probably not his first dead body.
Last night some property got dropped off for a patient.
One of our new staff was searching it.
The family member let me know that it was his hat, and not the patient's in the bag, and he wanted it back.
So I reached into the bag, grabbed the ball cap, and went to take it to the family member.
As I was reaching into the bag, NewGuy was yelling "Don't touch that, don't touch that! You don't have gloves on!!"
"Kid, it's not the patient's hat. It's his dad's. I know it doesn't really mean anything but dad looks relatively clean. Watch people around here. Folks that have been here a long time don't bother to wear gloves unless it's really bad, like the stuff has been pissed on. We've already been exposed to everything and it hasn't killed us."
