Such medical negligence is not restricted to hospitals that operate under socialized medicine. Such horrible outcomes are still rare but with the rise of antibiotic resistant bacteria the risk is greater than in the past.
Mersa, Staff, Legionaires, Norovirus, are in any American hospital.
Cleaning practices are dismal, 1 of the worst places to pick up a bug or virus is your doctor’s office. NEVER touch their sneezed/coughed on magazines. No one hands out cough mask to a patient who comes in the door doing so. Snot nosed kids touching every thing is another way it spreads. Don’t get me wrong I love kids, raised 3, every school year I’d send healthy kids to school, with in 2 weeks, mumps, measles, flu, GI stuff and Lice were coming home.
Schools are another germ/bacteria factory. As is Church, malls, any where there are large groups of people. Never touch those hand rails on escalators they are full of crap to make you sick.
