I work in the medical field, and while the article may be overreactive, it is true that work needs to be done in the hospitals to reduce patient infections. While there is no quick fix solution, more and more medical personnel are becoming more aware of the problem and doing more to combat this epidemic. I have seen doctors and nurses wearing the same lab coats for days, and this is also a problem. I guess we all have to roll our sleeves and work harder at keeping hospitals cleaner and better staffed with well-paid personnel who care about their jobs.
