The real story is that sixteen-year-old Walt Disney wanted to enlist in the U.S. Army during World War I, but was too young. So he lied about his age and enlisted in the American Ambulance Corps of the Red Cross. Young Walt arrived in France in November 1918, just shy of his 17th birthday.
Nosocomial Infections. Infections acquired during a hospital stay are called nosocomial infections. Formally, they are are defined as infections arising after 48 hours of hospital admission. For earlier periods it is presumably assumed that the infection arose prior to admission, though this is not always going to be true.
Postoperative surgical site infections (SSIs) are still a major source of morbidity in the United States. Among the 27 million people having surgery each year, approximately 500,000 will get a nosocomial surgical site infection. Surgical site infections are the third most commonly reported nosocomial infection and are the second most commonly reported adverse event in hospitals, behind medication errors.
