Hell, my wife and I work in a hospital, and hearing things like this gives me the creeps. I don’t work with patients, being in IT, but I’m still breathing the same air(they say the air completely changes every hour, but I don’t believe it). My wife works in the OB department, so she isn’t exposed to sick people. It’s still scary though, especially having young children at home.
My sister works as a nurse in Telley (Telemetry ... cardiac unit). A coworker was stabbed in the leg with the hypodermic needle just used on a wacko AIDS patient and now has to wait years to find out if she's been infected. Hospitals. Scary places indeed, for lots of different reasons. I've had complications as well from hospital stays and THAT makes ya' dang angry! (UTI ... very very common complaint after a hospital stay but can develop into something you really DO NOT want!)
