A few things to stay safe in the hosptal.

- Ask the surgeon for CHG pre-operative wipes. These are an anti-microbial body cleaner. Use them the night before and morning of surgery. They keep infection rates low.

- Just say no to any basin bath. They are cesspools. There are disposable bath cloths. Again, they reduce the chance for infection.

- Brush your teeth. It is the best prevention of pneuminia.

- Tell EVERYONE (especially docs) to wash their friggin hands!
