My father died, in part, because of an infection he got in the hospital. He got a disease associated with birds from the ventilation system that went to his heart. The organism lived in his heart and destroyed his heart muscle. Who is to blame? The hospital, or the health care system for not having adequate protection in place that is technologically an easy fix. I suspect, without reading the article, the businessman's father most likely caught the same disease in the hospital. This isn't a third world country and we need to have adequate protection in place when in the hospital.

For those who might be late comers to this board, Dory was a poster who we will remember as one who gave of herself so others survivors might smile. She always kept this board moving with her inspirational poems, jokes and riddles. Most will give Dory credit for energizing this board. She was an inspiration to everyone on this board. In that spirit, let us
continue to post in Dory’s memory so she might smile down on us and give us the same inspiration. Therefore, we have named the board, Dory's Board, in her memory. 11/11/01 (Dory was the first to call attention to the significance of 9/11, re: WTC tragedy, i.e. 911 for emergency). Let me be the first to note all the ones in the above date, indicating she was No. 1 on our board.
