Hospitals

There was a time when going to the hospital meant you were getting the kind of care needed to get better. Those days for far too many people are a thing of the past. If you don't believe this or what I'm about to say, talk to someone who's been in a hospital recently or visited a family member. What you will inevitably hear are stories of poor care and miscommunication. It pains me to say this because for 40 years I worked in and around hospitals.
Part of being at the top of your game means taking control of your health, engaging in a lifestyle that is health building not health destroying.
Granted, sometimes ending up in a hospital is unavoidable, but, do all you can to lessen your chances of becoming a patient in one. Consider these facts--if they seem too incredible to be true, then do a Google search and you'll see for yourself.
The CDC (Center for Disease Control) states that 1.7 million people contract infections in the hospital each year. It is suspected that this number is much higher. 100,000 people a year die from hospital acquired infections. Also,many of the infections acquired in the hospital are very resistant to conventional antibiotics.
And last but not least, 180,000 patients die in hospitals each year as a result of preventable medical errors.
It's grim folks.
Today was a strideout kind of day---easy jogging for 10 minutes then 2 sets of 5 reps in each set of smooth and relaxed 100 yard strideouts--after each strideout I jogged back to the start again. 15 minute warm down. Stretching and calisthenics after.
So what have you got planned?
