And they missed a spot the first time which led to the second surgery and radiation. But, they were following the standard treatment protocol. I declined the chemo personally based on the info they provided me with the effects and benefits. Now, 2 years later it has been determined to be not beneficial for the type I had and not used for treatment. But, overall, I am happy with my surgeon and radiation therapy, they did the best job they could. People are more likely to die in a hospital because there was something wrong that put them there in the first place. Or they caught something that another sick person was spreading or left behind.

Al Agnew Posted January 31, 2020 Posted January 31, 2020 Scariest thing about hospitals is the MRSA infections that seem to breed there. Doctors in hospitals are being a lot more careful about keeping patients as sterile as possible, but there's still the chance that you go in for surgery on something and end up dying of that nasty infection. We always get flu shots. Haven't gotten an actual flu in a few years, but this winter got a nasty cold, horrific cough, lasted longer than usual, about two weeks, three weeks of healthiness, then last week I got it again. Just now over it. I was coughing so hard I got woozy a few times. Mary was about to kick me out of the house because neither of us could sleep.

Al sorry about your colds this year but, when my wife was the president of a medical provider here in St.Louis she would show me all the screw ups from surgeries. Trust me there is a reason why every piece of equipment and gauze is counted and numbered and accounted for Twice. The amount of infections and items left in body cavities is astounding and this is the hospital that everyone in this region claims is THE best but, their cancer center is. Stay away from surgery at all cost
