Almost two years ago, my father was killed by a hospital-borne infection in the intensive-care unit of a well-regarded nonprofit hospital in New York City. Dad had just turned 83, and he had a variety of the ailments common to men of his age. But he was still working on the day he walked into the hospital with pneumonia. Within 36 hours, he had developed sepsis. Over the next five weeks in the ICU, a wave of secondary infections, also acquired in the hospital, overwhelmed his defenses. My dad became a statistic—merely one of the roughly 100,000 Americans whose deaths are caused or influenced by infections picked up in hospitals. One hundred thousand deaths: more than double the number of people killed in car crashes, five times the number killed in homicides, 20 times the total number of our armed forces killed in Iraq and Afghanistan. Another victim in a building American tragedy.

近两年前，我父亲在一家很有名气的纽约市非赢利医院中，因一次医院特护病房感染事故而辞世。父亲刚83岁，他患有多种这个年龄的老人常见的疾病。可是他因肺炎住院的当天还在工作。在短短36小时之内，他就得了败血症。在之后精护病房的五个星期中，又发生了多次二次感染，也是在医院发生的，终于使他的抵抗系统无法招架。爸爸成了统计数据中的一员，大约一年十万死于医院感染而造成的美国人之一。十万人死亡：这比死于汽车肇事人数总和的二倍还高，是杀人死亡人数的五倍，是在伊拉克和阿富汗美军死亡人数的二十倍。他成为建设美国悲剧的又一牺牲品。

大约父亲去世一周后，《纽约人》杂志发表了由Atul Gawande的一篇文章，
About a week after my father’s death, The New Yorker ran an article by Atul Gawande profiling the efforts of Dr. Peter Pronovost to reduce the incidence of fatal hospital-borne infections. Pronovost’s solution? A simple checklist of ICU protocols governing physician hand-washing and other basic sterilization procedures. Hospitals implementing Pronovost’s checklist had enjoyed almost instantaneous success, reducing hospital-infection rates by two-thirds within the first three months of its adoption. But many physicians rejected the checklist as an unnecessary and belittling bureaucratic intrusion, and many hospital executives were reluctant to push it on them
