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.
