Sometimes going to the hospital can end up making you *sicker* just because you were admitted.
Every year almost 650,000 hospital patients develop infections during their stay and about 75,000 die.
Some of the most threatening infections are the cause and those include C. Diff and MRSA bacteria that can live on surfaces for days and pass from hand to hand. MRSA is even resistant to some antibiotics.
To prevent these infections, hospitals and staff must pay close attention to cleanliness. Also essential to this process is to avoid the overuse and misuse of antibiotics which can wipe out patients good bacteria and let bad bacteria like C. Diff run wild.
