SJS –Hospitals are not these sterile zones we think of them. There are sick people there. Your home is generally safer.
I never had this misconception, maybe you did. Neither does anyone I know think this. Where do you get your “facts” from?
Health, there is a high corrolation between elderly in hospitals or long term care facilities developing increased colonization of c. diff, causing extreme diahrea and often death. But feel free to say I am blaming this on medical negligence.
Maybe it has to do with that a lot of these pts. are on antibiotics? Maybe the antibiotics are necessary for the pts.? It’s usually the doctors that practice primary care, eg. pediatricians, internists, etc., who prescribe unnecessary antibiotics.
Since you feel the way you do about medical personnel, esp. that we are always negligent; Feel Free not to use us. You can deliver at home; if ch’vs you or a family member get sick, you can self-treat or go to someone who practices alternative medicine. But don’t ever go to a regular doctor or an emergency room!
