Talk:Hospital-acquired infection

message: Hi, my name is Christine Blouin. I am currently enrolled in school, training to be a Medical Assistant at CEI in Somerville, Massachusettes. I was assigned to a presentation in my Aseptic class on Sanitization. I was just wondering how i can find out which hospital in the nation or in the state of Massachusettes has the LOWEST nosocomial rates?
Thank You so much for your time& attention,
Christine

message: I don't see any discussion of the potential for the stethoscope to transmit nosocomial infection.  Most doctors do wash their hands, but few do anything to clean the stethoscope between patient visits.  Doesn't the stethoscope bell have virtually the same infection spreading potential as the hands? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 74.138.150.86 (talk) 22:13, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Referencing "A ratio of 5 to 19% hospitalized patients are infected". Besides being grammatically incorrect - "of" should be inserted after "19%", IF the remainder is correct, "5 to 19%" (by which I *presume*, but do NOT know for sure, they mean 5% to 19%) is NOT a "ratio".

message: My next personal edit-athon will involve this article. If another editor wants to collaborate with me, I certainly welcome their involvement. I tag the article for point of view issues because some of the language appears to me to be over emphasize certain methods of transmission over others; that is to say my impression is that the article was written by someone who has possibly experienced this kind of infection. I could be way out there, I realize. But the article does not seem to be written in a neutral manner.
