For a while now, we have been hearing a lot about people not wanting to stay in hospital longer than needed for fear of picking up any nasty infections. Not a great concern to have when you are recovering from illness or injury.
These concerns are not likely to be abated by news that six maggots were found in the corner of a recovery room in Calvary Hospital on Thursday night.

The waiting room is now back in full use, with no explanation for the appearance of the maggots.
