Pasteurized Hospitals?

12 05 2008

Problem: Hospitals are often the worst place to take a sick person with a weakened immune system because there are so many diseases floating around, a majority of them resistant to modern medicines.

Possible solution: Pasteurization: the process of heating up an airtight container to I believe 140 degrees to kill most bacteria. If a hospital could be sectioned off so that an unused portion of it could be sealed and “cooked” along with as much hospital inventory, cots etcetera, as could be fit into it, a more effectively maintained sterile environment could be *cultivated*.

This process could be moved around the hospital continually to maintain a higher level of microbial safety. Maybe.

Obviously this would be very energy intensive and wasteful but then again, people dying of incurable diseases is somewhat wasteful as well.
