Rising Rates of Hospital Infections
listen:
  It’s a national problem. More and more patients are going in the hospital sick or injured and become sicker or even die from bacteria and illnesses they pick up during their stay. Two years ago, New Hampshire passed a law requiring hospitals to report their infection rates, but little has happened on that score. We’ll find out why and look at how this issue is more complicated than it appears. Guests

What's so hard about washing your hand's? Hospitals are supposed to be sanitary. Infection's are caused by laziness.
If I could have posed a question during the program on hospital infections it would have been this; Is it possible that the use and over use of anti-microbial solutions to kill bacteria on hands, coupled with the use and over use of anti-biotics that kill good bacteria, have caused bacteria strains to become resistant and unable to be killed by sterilization ?
I'm a bit frustrated at the use of the term, "health care." If we truly cared fo our health, and medical establishment understood the power of nutriion and environmental carcinogens, we could avoid being patients in the first place. Once we are diagnosed with chronic disease, it no longer is health care, but disease care.
Understnding our own power to prevent and reduce these debilitating and in many cases, preventable diagnoses, is not nearly focused on enough.
PLEASE, as I have lobbied and begged before, interview Dr. John McDougall, Dr. T.Colin Campbell, Dr. Caldwell Esseltyn Jr.,Dr.Joel Fuhrman, Dr. (and Rabbi) Gabriel Cousens, Dr. Neal Barnard, (or any of the 6000 physicians in his foundation) who are using nutrition to reverse and cure disease... Isn't that what informing the public is all about?
