We held a conference about 2 years ago. One of the talks was about converting hospitals and other medical centers into more spa like places. He showed photos of such places around Thailand, Vietnam and Indonesia.

The places had basically become a health service for the body and mind, I thought it was a very good idea. I hate going to the hospital, all the white walls, shiny floor, panic and **** everywhere.

It's got to change.

When a patient going in for the amputation of his left foot feels the need to paint "not this one dummy" on their right foot, these types of checklists can only help.

he should write on the left: "cut the left one. this left"

This is interesting - the drop in SSI at site 5 is pretty big.

No, what's interesting is how far out of whack their pre-checklist op site infection rate was. If that data is real, they should have been investigated, not included in a study. I'd be interested to see what the stats look like after exclusion of that one major outlier.

Depends, there could be a simple answer such as a C. difficile outbreak which hits everyone on a ward at once due to quarantine practices.
