Avoid hospital beds

Caught another article on disease transmission.  I've always favored avoiding hospitals whenever possible; I now discover that hospital beds, and particularly mattresses,  are a ready source of hospital acquired infections.  Even with sheets changed (and, one assumes, railing, headboard and bedside table disinfected), one has a close to six times better chance of picking up the pathogen from the previous occupant than if he'd not been infected in the first place.  I could excerpt, but perhaps better to read the article in its entirety.

Not much the janitor can do about that issue.
