Other times I pull my sleeves down over my hands to touch the doorknob. Or I'll use my elbows to push the door open, if it doesn't have a latch. But that may just be for paranoid people... It's probably more reasonable to just use a dry paper towel to touch the door. And also carry some alcohol-based hand sanitizer in your pocket. In a medical setting, usually there will be a sink in the same room where your hands need to be clean, so you don't have to worry about touching a door.
