Description
The numbers are shocking. More people die each year in hospital accidents than in car accidents. According to the Centers for Disease Control, a patient has nearly a one in 20 chance of picking up a so-called nosocomial infection in a hospital. In round numbers, that’s two million of the more than 36 million patients admitted to U.S. hospitals each year.
