  • Spinal Injury Level / Relationship:write for SCI magazine

Posted 30 November 2007 - 03:57 PM

Hello!

I am the associate editor for a national lifestyle magazine for people with spinal cord injuries and am working on a story about the cleanliness (or dirtiness) of U.S. Hospitals. I would like to hear your story about getting an infection while in the hospital, if you became more sick while in the hospital or if you've had an otherwise bad experience in a "dirty" hospital.

Please e-mail me so we can visit about this. I will be doing an article about it in the very near future.

Thanks for your help!

Roxy

Hi

The original poster say that they are writing for a US magazine, re US hospitals. I don;t think that "forward" mag is available to the US, but I could be wrong,

Take care,
