A disease caused by bacteria found in unclean, unhealthy environments.

Yup. I caught mine in a Hospital.

It is just my opinion. You don't like it don't read it.

Same goes for you, too.

My father, a Baptist Deacon and Sunday School Superinyendent went into the hospital to have a heart valve replaced when he was 70. The doctors were concerned that he would never come off the vent because he had smoked for 50 years (thanks to free cigarettes in rations in WWII).

He came through the surgery and came off the vent in no time. He developed a staph infection though and they had to cut out his breast bone because it was necrotic and administer antiseptics(basically bleach) directly into the wound. He was in the hospital for 11 months, came out for 2 years before he died, but his wound never healed completely.

He lived for two extra years because of medical science, but it was medical uncleanliness that almost killed him in the first place.
