brushed up against the body's mucosal surfaces "is a long, hard day,"
says Ms. Nucci. "I can't imagine myself doing well on my 40
th
scope at
4 o'clock in the afternoon after doing it since 8 o'clock in the morn-
ing."
Reprocessing is best done by a dedicated and certified scope tech,
says Ms. Natal, "but no one wants to do that job full-time. The more
people you have in and out of the scope reprocessing area, the greater
the likelihood of not getting it right and having an infection." OSM
