Tisha UnArmed is a woman in her 20’s who was born without arms, and with one leg slightly shorter than her left.
And nothing has prevented her from doing anything that she sets her mind out to do (to the point where her Internet infamy led to an appearance on TV with Tosh!).
The CDC claims that 1.7 million people become infected while at a hospital, but according to RID: The Committee to Reduce Infection Deaths, the actual number of infections at hospitals each year is much, much higher.
On average, a patient DIES AT A HOSPITAL due to a hospital-related infection every six minutes. RID says it’s at least 103,000 (preventable?) deaths a year, causing up to $30 billion in hospital costs.
It’s the fourth leading cause of death, with heart disease, cancer, and strokes taking the top three spots.
“I smell old people,” says many kids upon their first visit to see Grandma and Grandpa.

Do you read product labels when you’re making household purchases? Web Watch does try to avoid buying food that contains high fructose corn syrup or has “sugar” listed on the label — but we’re a creature of habit, and Pop Tarts taste so darn good.
But we don’t really take the time to read all those other funky labels and warnings that seem to be applied to practically everything we get nowadays. Do we care that something was made in a plant that also processes “soy”, “nuts”, and “dairy products”? Eh. Not so much… but we know some folks who do care, so we’re not going to make fun of them for this.
