Learn the dirty little secrets hospitals don't 
                        want you to know!!

For the first time ever, in Sheer Buffoonery:  How Hospitals Kill Patients an insider reveals the shocking truth behind why hospitals are killing thousands of patients each year.

• Hospital staff are forced to bring in their own supplies, like gloves and pens because hospitals can save money
   
• There is no real "security" in hospitals. People off the streets are free to roam around and do whatever they feel like
   
• Chronic understaffing is the norm, not because of a nursing shortage, but because hospitals save huge amounts of money on expensive labor costs
   
• Hand washing is the Number #1 way to prevent the spread of infection yet many major hospitals cut off water to sinks in order to save money
   
• Critical pieces of equipment are in short supply or are in poor working order because hospitals don't want to spend the money to have them replaced
   
• Our country would be in serious trouble in the event of a large, national emergency because hospitals don't keep necessary nursing items, like IV tubing well stocked
   
• There are no national standards for how hospital should be set up and maintained
   
• The national agency that supposedly "evaluates" hospitals is bought and paid for by the hospital industry itself. This means most facilities are rubber stamped, regardless of their conditions
  
  and there's much more.....
