Literal Shower Thought - A medical perspective and question. So this thought is brought on by some of the "Shower Thought" posts I've seen here recently, mixed with the Shitlords in Medical Industry thread from a few hours ago.  Tomorrow I'm getting orthopedic surgery on my shoulder to fix a labral tear. To prepare for that, I was instructed to wash, at least once a day for 4 days and right before leaving for surgery, using an anti-septic cleanse to clean my skin of as much bacteria as possible to prevent an infection post surgery. While I was doing this, and how for the most part (sans injury) I was able to reach everywhere on my body to cleanse myself, I was thinking about how a ham would be at doing this.  I mean, the sheer number of them that have enough problems with regular bathing, how little care would a ham take to make sure they didn't get an infection? Between not being able to reach anything, the folds of fat, and the generally filthy conditions they live in, how common are post surgery infections for these lard sacks?
