In Pennsylvania, you are about 50% more likely to die from an infection you get while spending time in a hospital than you are to die from a firearm (over 300% more likely to die from an in-hospital infection than a homicide involving a firearm (1800 infection deaths/about 500 homicides)).

 

I wonder why they don't report EVERY DAMN ONE OF THOSE on the evening news? [/sarcasm]

But how many of those who died from nonsocomial infections were put in the hospital by guns?

When infections are outlawed only outlaws will have infections?

If something bad ever happens to me in PA please shove me in the car and drive me to NY.

Hospitals don't kill people....people kill people.

 

The exact same arguement that normal people have made about guns since I have been alive.

Guns don't kill people, Abortions kill people. Where do abortions happen, in hospital clinics. It's all a vast left wing conspircy.

NY hospitals aren't much better. Actually, there's very few urban hospitals in the nation that don't have problems with nonsocomial infections; they're very good breeding grounds for antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
