Summary

The motif of the soldier returning from war itself returns throughout Shakespeare’s plays. Tragedies like Richard III, Othello and Macbeth use the delicate moment of homecoming as the starting point for violent escalation, and when a post-war plot follows the comedy pattern, as in Much Ado About Nothing, the reintegration of the returnee retains a destructive dimension. Shakespeare’s late tragedy Coriolanus asks what happens when the returnee cannot be reintegrated into the civil society he defended in war and ultimately turns against his home.

We conducted a quality improvement project at a large public tertiary-care academic hospital to reduce reported hospital-acquired Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) rates. We introduced diagnostic stewardship and provider education, resulting in a 2-fold reduction in C. difficile nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT) orders and markedly lower hospital CDI rate.
