Just guessing here but if they died of severe pneumonia, isn’t that a reflection of the sanitary conditions inside hospitals? I once read that pneumonia is the biggest killer in hospitals where the infection that killed patients wasn’t from the original diagnosis and the reason was lack of proper sanitation.
Warning: I’m not a doctor or even associated with medicine in any way but I did stay at a HIE last night.
Inside hospital sanitation is a good point, treatment being the same.
I love it!!
Good point.
Many years ago, we were in an auto accident in Mexico and three in the car were taken to the nearest hospital. The doctors did the best they could but sanitation was appalling. My son had a cut on his head requiring stitches, and the nurses washed it WITH TAP WATER and their BARE HANDS. Naturally I made a B-line to our doc at home the next day who declared the stitches “beautiful” and gave the kid a tetanus shot.
