CDC investigates deadly bacteria's link to doctors' offices by Jessica Sheinfeld

CDC investigates deadly bacteria's link to doctors' offices

By Jessica Sheinfeld


The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is raising a red flag that a potentially deadly bacteria may be 

lurking in your doctor's office.  The bacteria, C. Difficile, is typically found in hospitals.  But a study out 

Wednesday reports a substantial number of people contracted the bug who hadn't been in a hospital, but had 

recently visited the doctor or dentist.


That scares me a lot.  Doctors and doctors offices are supposed to make everyone and anyone feel better, not 

deathly.  I want to stay away for doctors and their offices for now.
