I've had 4 major surgeries in the last 20 years and never had an infection. Consumer Reports just had a review of hospitals all over the US on their rates of infection. Some are quite good, some not so much.

      I hope that never happens, and I have very little faith in the American 
health care system.  I've had at least three friends go into a hospital for 
heart attacks, traffic accidents, etc., only to come out feet first due to 
infections they got from the hospital itself.

      And then there was my encounter with Blue Cross, being denied health care 
because my employer contracted with Blue Cross of California.  I was told I 
would have to drive to California for coverage.  Took a few calls from an 
attorney to get them to back down.  So I dismissed any Blue Cross Part C plans.

      To paraphrase W.C. Fields, "On the whole, I'd rather be in Guadalajara."
