:-(. very sad.
These days hospitals are dangerous... especially for persons with compromised immune systems. The situation will deteriate further with Obamacare. Because of the over-use of antibiotics we now have strains of bacteria that are resistant to treatment known as MRSA.
Emergency Room physicians are notorius for perscribing antibiotics for viral infections to keep people happy. How would you feel if you got a thousand dollar emergency room bill, a thousand dollar ambulance bill and all you got was advice to go home and take over-the-counter meds? Where I work the majority of our emergency room ambulance transports are innapropropriate. But don’t worry almost none of our “customers” pay a dime. The taxpayers and the rest of us take care of it.
