Why are hospital gowns blue?

First of all, let me tell you that I have been working with the hospital and healthcare supplier in Dubai that comes with the name of Acacia Supply LLC.

Here I would like to add that not always hospital gowns are blue. And if you have only seen the blue gowns then probably you are living in an area where blue could be an enforced color.

Here in the Middle East and other markes, we have been supplying, Hospital Gowns in different colors ranging from Blue to Green and In some instances white too.

It depends what's the purpose for which, these are being used.

In what careers do you earn 40000 or more a year?

As you may know, many starting rates for jobs are not as much as 40,000 but:

A teacher earn that much in a few years,

A pharmacist earns 75000-150000 a year,and mainly careers that require you to go to a university.

I think you might need to be a little more specific about where these teaching jobs are and define 'in a few years' - after 10, I'm not near that!!!! Or do you mean a teacher earns that over a few years....?

It depends on the region and area we are talking about, for example police officers with the OPP generally make more than the police officers working with the NYP. Or another example would be that a small municipality would pay their mayor far less then say a large municipality such as Toronto.

Ok, fair enough. I'm in the UK so this now makes way more sense! Thanks!

What measures may be taken to prevent hospital-acquired infections?

As of November 2010, there's a new service available to hospitals that will help them get a leg up on infection control. It's an EPA approved, environmentally friendly disininfectant service applied by bio-intervention specialists, that is safe for both humans and the environment. It has a unique killing mechanism that has what is called a 6-log kill (99.9999%). The infectious diseases are killed before they can mutate or resist. There isn't anything else like this service in existence today. Now hospitals can prevent patients from getting infected in the first place.

Why is this a big deal? Hospitals currently use disinfectant products that contain toxic chemicals, which are harmful to humans. Some newer technologies such as fogging are not EPA approved and are also toxic to humans. UV Light technology has a lower kill rate than the bio-intervention process - and it's difficult to comprehensively disinfect the surfaces if shadows are present. Right now, Bio-Intervention Specialists provides the most powerful weapon against hospital acquired infections. Visit Bio-intervention.com for more information.

What is the world's top hospital?

You will find different ranking depending on criteria used and other factors (and frankly some biases). Every list I could find agrees that Harvard is #1 at of 2012.

The US News and World report ranked Johns Hopkins at #1 for 21 years straight until 2012 when they placed Harvard in the position. They only rank US schools.

One website that claims to rank all schools in the world gives this list:

1 Harvard University - United States

2 University of Oxford - United Kingdom

3 University of Cambridge - United Kingdom

4 Stanford University - United States

5 Yale University - United States

6 University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) - United States

7 Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) - United States

8 Johns Hopkins University - United States

9 Imperial College London - United Kingdom

10 Columbia University - United States

The Guardian and Huffington post have very similar lists with Canadian, Japanese, Australian and Singapore appearing in the second ten. The Guardian places Penn at #2 and Johns Hopkins at #3.

Prescriptions what colour is a hospital prescription?

First off, I think I know where you are going with this question. A simple and a HELPFUL answer would be to not even try to reproduce one. A hospital writes so many scripts that every pharmacy in that area know there design. Many of the prescriptions are computer generated with specific markings that are nearly impossible to duplicate. If you just happen to be curious for some reason as stated most are computer generated and a DR.'s DEA number must be on any prescription that is for a controlled substance-meaning for pain medication or Xanax or any kind of speed like medication and the quantity is usually not for more than 20 or 30 pills at most, just enough to hold you until you can get in and see your primary doctor. I hope this helps but if you do have intensions of trying to duplicate a hospitals RX and get caught you can face federal criminal charges. NOT WORTH MESSING WITH.
