what are the diseases that you can acquire in the medical ward?

Answer 1

You could catch anything that any other patient has if the staff aren't careful about washing their hands and equipment between patients. The two that are the biggest problem currently are Methicillin Resistant Staph. Aureus (MRSA) or Vancomycin Resistant Entercoccus (VRE). The hospital I work at routinely screens for these and keeps patients with these bacteria in isolation. Clostridium difficile is also commonly transmitted around healthcare settings because it's resistant to alcohol sanitizer which a lot of hospitals use now. If people catch these, they are particularly hard to get rid of because of their resistance to common treatments.

Answer 2

Norwalk virus

The Norwalk virus is an intestinal illness spread through the feces of infected people.

The virus causes winter vomiting disease, viral gastroenteritis, acute nonbacterial gastroenteritis, food poisoning, and stomach flu; headaches, general lethargy and weakness and low-grade fevers may also occur.

Answer 3

C difficle bacterial infection, SARS and Norwalk virus are the most common. SARS is preventable if people wash their hands regularly at the gel despensing machings placed through the hospital

Answer 4

It depends on the state of your immune system. I would have to say that it could be anything contagious which is a very long list.
