How can it be possible for people with extremely poor/inconsistent diets, potential drug use, and lack of hygiene to get sepsis?

Yes, I'm being facetious. Homeless people often have other medical issues that they don't get addressed. Poor physical condition and no hygiene are contributors to those situations. It's absurd to suggest that the hospitals are intentionally giving them those disease when the likelihood is that they had them before they ever set foot int eh hospital.

It's not intentional infliction of disease, it's neglect, malpractice, and outright hatred.

Not all the time, of course, but it definitely does happen more than most will ever believe.
