Not only do you have to fight off what ever ales you, you might have to fight off what ever bug you might get in a hospital setting. I know 2 people who want certain procedures done [on advice of their doctors]. I do not think they know what might be ahead for them. The D.M.C. [Detroit medical center] . It contains 3 major hospitals in downtown Detroit.

I heard the doctors and nurses do not wash their hands often enough.
