Hospitals

And then there is the unfortunately real knowledge that people get injured by mistakes made at hospitals, and sometimes even die. Many, older people especially, do not want to go to the hospital for any reason because they know of at least one person if not more, who went in for what was a routine and simple procedure without many risks, and either got sick while at the hospital and died as a result of the illness, or died because of a mistake that was made by a hospital employee or contractor.
