I hate to belabor the finer points of definitions, but I would
appreciate hearing some opinions on the differences between the terms
"iatrogenic" and "nosocomial".  Do these terms mean the same thing?
If not, would someone please give examples of how each ought to be
used?  

Thank you for your help.

Sincerely, Kathy Miller
