Answer 1

Sorry to bust your bubble, but Doctors, Nurses and healthworkers do spread diseases to you, and do catch things from their patients.
Basically it comes down to good handwashing, if a doctor, or other healthcare worker washes their hands well before touching you and after then they will not pass any diseases onto you from other patients or to themselves. If they do not wash their hands then they carry germs from patient to patient and themselves. If you are a patient in a hospital you always run the risk of getting a nosocomial infection (an infection that you did not get admitted for).
I have worked in hospitals for 17 years and it is not uncommon to get flu, or other infections from the patients I have treated, as they cough on you and do not cover their mouths, or sneeze in your face,
One thing you should do as a patient is to insist that the doctor or nurse wash their hands prior to examining you that way they will not pass anything on to you.

Answer 2

Health care professionals are taught to wash their hands before and after every patient. They also use protective gear ie gloves and masks. I believe the stronger immune system is a valid point as well because the more germs your body is exposed to the stronger your immune system will become.

This is why you always see signs saying "wash you hands", it is very important. It has been in the news lately about staph infection spreading around the population more than ever. This was previously thought of as an infection typically spread within the hospital, however lately it is being found more and more within the population.

Biblically speaking I think it is an example of how the lessons the Bible teaches us are valid today. Maybe some people think of it as an ancient book with old teachings but no matter you religion allot of the life lessons taught are just as important today as they were back then.

Answer 3

A crucial part of any medical education is learning how different diseases are transmitted and how to prevent transmission. In addition, doctors know how easily or not so easily specific diseases can be transmitted. Some, like MRSA infection, are not as easily transmitted as people think. But this isn't to say that doctors are not subject to the same vulnerability as you. They are, they're human, they do indeed get sick from time to time. They even get cancer and die. They also can be careless and spread bacteria and viruses.

Answer 4

Part of what you have to do to work at a hospital is to get yearly tests and immunizations to prevent this. The more you are exposed to something, the more your immune system can fight it.

Answer 5

Doctors protect themselves with gloves and masks and are most likely up to date on any kind of shots to help keep them healthy.

Answer 6

drs are in a very sterile environment. they make usre that everything is clean each time someone comes into their office.

Answer 7

their bodies have better immunities to these diseases because they have been exposed to them so much.
