nosocomial \nah-suh-KOH-mee-ul\ adjective
Meaning: acquired or occurring in a hospital
The truth of the matter is that none of us will live forever, but most of us will die outside of a hospital. Perhaps a nursing home, or ground up in a car. What killed Susan was certainly nosocomial, but she wasn't a patient, or stay long enough to actually be killed by it within those antiseptic painted walls. She met him while she was visiting a friend, and he picked up the infection that would kill her while he was getting stitches. She was just unlucky, they said. He was lucky he'd not caught it too. Jack didn't feel lucky.
