Are there any personal hygiene practices for your religion that you feel are different than what's normally provided in a health care setting? (What sort of things do doctors, nurses, and support staff need to know to make sure to provide health care that doesn't violate any of your religious beliefs?)

The only issue I can think of is Kosher food and observing the Sabbath.
medically I cannot think of anything that would violate Jewish law.
Regardless 99% of laws are suspended when it comes to life saving issues.
For example, my mother recently was told by her doctor to eat a liver with plenty of blood (something that is expressly forbidden) but it was permissible because it was necessary for her surgery right after.

well I'm not orthodox, but I am Jewish.
I am not aware of anything that "unusual" that its all that remarkable.
and practically every law is and tradition in judaism is secondary to preservation of life.
