This is way off topic but I though you all might need this

My brother in law just died and I have had 4 other relatives come close to 
dieing because of a staph infection they got in the hospital.
over 60% of today's staph infections are not treatable with antibiotics.

You all should read the 15 precautions here:
http://www.hospitalinfection.org/protectyourself.shtml
especially if you are planning on going in.

My brother in-law was jacking a motor home and didn't use jack stands. took 
the tire off and the jack broke. After someone jacked it up and got him out 
from under it he walked to the car, got out of the car and into the week 
chair. A couple days later developed a temperature. They tried to treat it 
with antibiotics. 4 days later he died in the night.

He survived the motor home but not the hospital.

I have heard more and more stories of people getting this infection in the 
hospital.

this is just insane.

be careful
