When you have an ill family member and spend a lot of time in the hospital, you find yourself being quite observant in your free time.  Have you ever wondered why there are dishwashers located in various places throughout a hospital?  I sure have.  It just didn’t quite make sense to me.  I mean, how many dishes could they possibly need to wash when there is a huge cafeteria on the main floor?  Finally, after seeing a sign on one in the hospital lobby that read used autoclaves for sale, I decided to ask.  It seems these dishwashers are indeed called autoclaves and they are used to sterilize equipment and supplies.
