Dirty Hospitals - Spreading Disease Through Patients

'Superbugs' found on many hospital patients' hands and what they touch most often. For decades, hospitals have worked to get staff to wash their hands and prevent the spread of germs. But a new study suggests they may want to expand those efforts to their patients, too.
