MODEL RELEASED. Changing hospital linen. Hospital cleaner changing linen on a hospital bed that has been used by a patient. The old linen will need to be thoroughly cleaned before being reused. The bed and the rest of the room has been disinfected and cleaned with great care, and clean linen is being put on the bed. This helps prevent any possible spread of infection to the next patient. Disinfectant destroys most bacteria and slows the growth of others. Photographed at the American Hospital of Paris, France.
