I am battling a staph infection I contracted over 2 years ago when my mother was a patient at one of the top teaching hospitals in the US. Hospitals are dirty places.

The concentration of nasty germs in a hospital is because no one goes to be admitted unless they are sick to begin with...but some employee's don't follow good health practices....the simplest one and doctors are great at not doing so, is washing hands between patients...Also picking up 4 or 5 charts to go see their patients and putting them on the bed while they examine the patient and talk with them...many people, even visitors don't go by the rules for patients in isolation, they don't like putting on a paper covering, mask in some cases or gloves and in fact take into a patients room germs that may cause patient with low resistance to catch something from outside...

But yes, there are some hospitals that don't follow their own protocols for cleanliness....

Hospitals are a good place to stay out of, by their very reason for being in the first place....illness and sickness.

Staph and strep can be very stubborn, they are all over the place but don't belong in the human body, they can wreck havoc.....

Hope you get your under control and have it gone...

Just so. Hospitals are full of infections, and patients often pick up new ones while they are in there. Maybe the Rabbi was responsible, and maybe not. Even if the infection was obviously located where the circumcision took place, that doesn’t necessarily mean that the Rabbi’s action was responsible for it.

It just seems typical of our MSM that they pick up on this story, when there have been hundreds and thousands of other cases of hospital infections and deaths that go unmentioned.
