My mother has great issues on this topic and i kind of agree with what she says about hospitals. Certainly here in Britain the hospitals have gone down hill, there is no doubt about that. They are dirtier which makes it even more possible for people to get infections and pick up bugs while staying there (MRSA). Now, my mother believes that this is because they abolished the 'matrons' and i have to say she makes a convincing argument.  

Intrahospitalarian StaphAu is a 1/300,000 case... You gotta see the hospitals down there in Peru, Bolivia and Argentina... those ARE risky, they don't even have Methicillin for non-resistant genotypes... come on, you're in the first world.

The NHS is particular is going downhill because of a HUGE lack of funding.
