#526 Show Summary (The Ground Hog Day Show):

Winter days are often bleak and depressing.  The Celts invented a day to remind them that spring was coming, and the Pennsylvania German community brought it to the US.  Traditions and customs turn, and thanks to a popular movie, the day designed to help us look to the future now reminds us of a past we can’t escape.  Why not celebrate Ground Hog Day with Health Matters?

Tip:  (For healthcare personnel):  If you don’t wash it every day, don’t wear it in a patient’s room.
