The truth about hospital germs!  GROSS!! EWWW!  Most people think a hospital is a germ free zone with all that sterilization and disinfecting going on right! The most common hospital bacterial infection is C-Diff. which accounts for about 20% of all hospital infections.  Learn what C-diff is, how it is spread, and how you can do your part to fight it.  We look at other common hospital germs…. and practices to make your time in a hospital more germ unfriendly.  You will want to shower when we are done.  Yuck!  And always remember….Get Educated, Get Empowered, Get Healthy!
