Stay away from Hospitals!!!
Patients who enter hospitals are at high risk of potentially deadly infections or medical mistakes.
Americans & people all over the world may be putting their lives at risk every time they are admitted into a hospital. Hospitals are responsible for protecting and restoring our health, but they have instances of professional negligence and fatal errors.
Healthcare-associated infections and medical mistakes – including drug-related errors and preventable surgical complications – harm thousands of patients every year, with some mistakes proving lethal. Among the findings: One-third of all hospital admissions result in adverse effects from medical mistakes, and voluntary reporting methods used to currently track patient safety records miss up to 90 percent of serious medical errors.
