One thing I will say is aseptic practices are "less" important in a hospital, compared to a facility that's producing intravenous therapies.

There's less inherent risk from subpar aseptic practices in a hospital because in most cases your immune system is a good barrier to that.

Your body has much less protections against a liquid that's getting pumped straight into you. Luckily a huge portion of that is terminally sterilized and run through huge filter lines.
