The other day I was listenting to a conversation with the Medical Embeded Training Team (ETT), and I said "Huh?"
They were discussing a class they were conducting for the Afghans, topic: Hand Washing... Come to find out not only are they teaching them why it is important to wash your hands as a form of disease prevention, but also HOW to wash their hands! And I'm not talking about the proper vs. the improper way to wash your mits, but how to pick up a bar of soap and put it under some running water. It sounded to me like they were teaching todlers how to wash up before dinner. How many grown-ups do I know that don't know how to wash their hands? That's right, zero!
I said to myself, "Wow, I'm glad I don't have to deal with this stuff."

These are people who lack not only running water, but the germ theory of disease. It's both surprising, but completely unsurprising at the same time.
