These are excellent posters. They illustrate why swabs make an inferior specimen over tissue and aspirates. This hospital posted these where doctors tended to hang out - surgery and surgery bathrooms! They also made little table tent advertisements for doctor's eating and lounge areas. Specimens improved quite a bit, apparently, and swab specimens dropped off.

It's worth the read and filing away in your brain for later on. Our place is thinking of starting a poster campaign, also.
