The hospital I work in doesn't, so we battle this kind of thing all the time. The difference is, we can bring things into rooms that we use but that the kids don't touch and that don't touch anything in the room. Still, with BMT rooms you need to be extra careful and we err on the side of caution. I'm assuming that you are planning on leaving a puppet with your friend so that he can play with it? The hospital should be willing to help you here. They must have procedures. Think about all the things that a family brings into a room: clothes, food, books, music, cards, games, toys, flowers. If you can wipe down a remote control and make it sterile enough for the room, surely there is a way to sterilize a puppet. Good luck.
