From wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nosocomial_infection

"In the United States, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimate that roughly 1.7 million hospital-associated infections, from all types of microorganisms, including bacteria, combined, cause or contribute to 99,000 deaths each year"

I worked for a newspaper in Texas, and the editors told us not to cover suicides.

I like http://longreads.com/ for my long articles. Right now, my favorite setup for reading long articles from the web is:

Nook Color + CM7.1 + InstaFetch Pro + Instapaper + Longreads.

The Longreads website integrates with instapaper, and the instafetch client will cache articles to the nook, so I don't have to be online to read. I haven't gotten around to playing with it, but I'm sure iPad + instapaper client would work well

I think Verizon/Terremark has a leg up on Amazon on this one. They have some type of massive secure data center near DC for federal customer clouds.
