My #PPE ritual, refined over service time:
1. Dedicated scrubs, shoes, mask for commuting.
2. Change into clean work scrubs, work shoes in office.
3. Put on N95, cover w surgical mask.
4. 3M safety glasses (plastic), 3D printed faceshield
5. Disposable nonwoven surg cap 6. Take stairs, not elevators.
7. Never touch doorknobs w bare hands. If unavoidable, use hand sanitizer immediately afterwards.
8. No longer wear white coat nor carry stethoscope
9. No jewelry- not my wedding band, earrings, watch - nothing.
