"Infections in Hospitals get worse, Despite Safety Focus

About the article:

Nearly 100,000 deaths from infections in hospitals yearly... doesn't make you want to go to the hospital very badly do you? True but if you need help what are you going to do? Tough it out? Go to a different Doctor? What will you do? My hope is that you would get the help you need, but not be afraid that you could get sick and maybe even die. The article goes through the formality of sharing information that the Health Department has created and observed. The information is supposed to be true and accurate as to date, however, many believe that the Health Department surveys are only out to find the negative of a Health place, which is not true, but many people do not see the side that shows what places are the best hospitals, nursing homes, and clinics but also health care professionals. The Health Department surveyors are responsible for creating and compiling these lists.
