Hostpital / Institutional Bacteria is becoming more and more dangerious...

yet another incentive for home birthing......

obviously the cost goes up.. but I think institutions should definately have 'bacterial scanners' you know like them chemical scanners. Give each institutions one of the things, train people how to use them.. then scan.. Emergency service such as health care first responders and doctors nurses and other hospital staff should have access to those types of systems, at an affordable price (re a crown not for profit production facility) to make these units and make them available, as well as oversee a training program. Not only will it help identy dangerous lifeforms, but enable an increased state of health and occupational safety for employees such as the chronically ill nurses. It would also increase first responder idenification capacity, especially in intances of A'BC' attacks, and to assess risk of some interactions, beyond the regular scope of response.
