My n=1 experience is that every time I walk into a hospital (even just to visit nana for an hour), a few days later I find myself sick...
I suspect that the true figure for hospital acquired infections is far higher than 1 in 8, but that they are only recorded if the infection is serious enough to cause immediate medical treatment to be necessary.
