How about a hospital...shouldn't each admin > then have to have a medical degree? I would *HOPE* that even if a hospital doesn't require a medical degree for its admins, that they at least require *all* the support staff (admins, janitors, orderlies, etc) to have some very basic understanding of enough procedures so that they at least don't do any harm: 1) Don't go into rooms with a Quarantine sign unless you don't intend to come out... 2) Know the rules of which way you should jump if a crash cart is coming down the hallway.. 3) What a biohazard symbol is, where you should find containers with that symbol, and what to do if you find a biohazard container where it shouldn't be, or a biohazard that isn't in its container... You know, the same basic level of knowledge we wish they had regarding computers, the "Don't click on the 'OOooh Shiny!' attachment" level.... (And I am told that in fact, hospitals *do* require all their staff to get at least "basic CPR" training and the like...)
