While it smells like that... hospitals have a few bugs that are known as superbugs, and resist just about everything.

When I injured myself in the hospital, we did not sugar coat it... third gen antibiotics, that with the same injury anywhere else would have meant just about any antibiotic. Yes it was in Mexico, but we were aware of this due to the emerging literature on this in the 1980s, which is when this superbugs started to emerge. These days it is a recognized problem... world wide, or at least in the First World, and protocols change to maintain places clean... not sterile, just clean.

And it also depends on the hospital. Some are far better at this than others.
