"Hospitals are the worst places to get well," a RN friend once told me, and she's right. Taking into account bacterial infections, unhealthy food, overcrowding, understaffing and the occasional incompetent or homicidal health-care worker, hospitals should be avoided unless absolutely, absolutely, absolutely necessary.
There are plenty of other options for knee replacement and other elective surgeries. Diet, exercise, Yoga, acupuncture, meditation, pain management techniques or just 'man up' and live with the pain (foot and knee pain has been a constant companion since a 4,000 lb SUV crushed my foot two years ago but I refuse to take medication or go for knee surgery)
