That said, doctors (and dentists) in days gone by must have managed without gloves for all kinds of things. And then there was the requirement to taste your patient's urine for diagnosing things like diabetes... Glad I am a modern-day doctor! (Though I wonder what people 300 years from now will be horrified that we are doing now.)

Gloves and masks becoming the norm in dentistry is within my memory, then again so is vacuum sterilising of all instruments. I remember instruments being hand scrubbed and disinfected in barbicide. I'm 100% certain that when I retire newly qualified dentists and doctors will be horrified with some of the things we're doing today routinely.

He might view it differently if he was permanent and it was his life's work. He likely wants a permanent job that stimulates his brain. I had a holiday job once at Lewis in Manchester on the hardware in the basement. As a holiday job it was fine but it would have become mind numbingly boring for it to be permanent.
The worst holiday job I did was at the steel works in Irlam. It was exceedingly hot and the molten metal cascading round the place scared me to death. I only stayed there the one day.

I worked at the furnaces in the local steelworks for eight years, hard, heavy, hot work, but really enjoyed working there. Should also add, very dangerous
