i've never really been into the cheek kissing thing - has always seemed an odd custom to me. but they take it to a whole new level here in Argentina. I was in the operating theatre today, and the surgeon walks in after we've just finished putting the patient to sleep. He then proceeds to walk up to and kiss each person in the room. male or female makes no difference. being scrubbed and in full gown and gloves also makes no difference - the surgeon just approaches from the back leans over and gives the facemask a peck.
i dont think i'll take up there custom - but it does improve the atmosphere in the operating theatre when each person is greeted, and some friendly chatter seems to accompany each kiss. it has to improve teamwork. :-)
