Disarm
To kill germs, to really slaughter them and make sure they wouldn't hightail it back once the faucet is turned off, a person is supposed to wash their hands for two minutes.
Medical school taught Addison better. She could easily stand in front of a sink for five minutes, water on the hottest setting, and still feel dirty. She's always been a fan of "cleanliness is next to godliness," which is a bit ironic when she thinks about it. The things she does to her hands to keep them clean… She can barely feel them anymore. Her senses of touch and temperature are almost gone. She hardly even notices when Derek holds her hands at night anymore.
But then he came into her OR. He rudely shoved his dirty, filthy, manwhore hands under her meticulously clean sink and those same disgusting hands grazed her clean ones. And, even though she made a face at the time, the truth was that she could vividly feel every movement of his skin on hers.
