If you go into your local hospital, you should be wary: visiting could be deadly, especially if you are a patient. You could possibly become one of the one out of every 20 hospital visitors in America who contracts a disease as a result or one of the 90,000 hospital visitors annually who contracts a disease that kills them.

In fact, according to the website, www.newsmatch.com, a hospital visit is one of the leading causes of death. Actually, hospital visits lead to more annual deaths than those caused by AIDS, car accidents, and breast cancer. According to the website, the medical establishment does not want the public to know the dangers of hospital visits. Hospital visits, according to the website of the American Association for Retired People (AARP), www.aarp.or, are the eighth leading cause of death in America.

Dr. Russell Blaylock, a respected neurosurgeon, according to the newsmatch website, offered techniques for hospital visitors to protect themselves from catching a deadly disease during their visit. Dr. Blaylock said a hospital visit represents numerous hazards.

According to Dr. Blaylock, the reason a visit to a local hospital can be deadly is that hospitals are a breeding ground for "countless infectious organisms" that can make one sick. Some can even be deadly.

According to the website, Dr. Blaylock does not always express an opinion that is welcomed by most in the medical community. The doctor, according to the website, however, is nationally recognized, a board-certified neurosurgeon, a health practitioner, and an author and lecturer. He has 26 years of experience in neurosurgery and is editor of the Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons and Journal of the American Nutriceutical Association. His other experience includes serving previously as a Clinical Assistant Professor of Neurosurgery at the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson, MS. He is currently a visiting professor of Biology at the Belhaven College in Jackson, Mississippi. He receives no funding from the pharmaceutical industry.
