> Largely, hospitals ALL have a basic level of competence in the US (meaning medical training and certification and subject to regulation) and it's disrespectful to imply otherwise. There is no benefit to people dying in a hospital. Nobody wins and the penalties are stiff. The staff are people, which are imperfect (often overworked) and situations are fluid.

No way. Look at the Centers for Medicare Services ratings and check out the shitshow that lower rated hospitals are. When you see high cdiff infections, that’s a sign of general incompetence — poor hygiene, undertrained or untrained staff, or insufficient staffing levels.

Disrespect is allowing patients to suffer needlessly. The people running those facilities deserve none.
