Here's a very disturbing statistic: According to the CDC, nosocomial infections (infections contracted by patients during hospitalization) cost about $$.5 billion and led to 80,000 deaths (one death every six minutes).

Hospitals can be hazardous not only to patients' health, but also to that of doctors, nurses and other employees as well.
