Default Mrsa

Meithicilla-restant Staphylococcus,Mrsa is responsible for more deaths
than Aids in the United States..The so called Superbug in most states.
Consumer Advocacy groups sound a alarm {I'm one} over Mrsa and
health professionls acuse them of playing politics and using murky
science.

When you buy meat in a grocery,you knnow it's prepared at a factory
where people have to wear a hairnet and walk through bleach and all
sorts of protection.But we don't have that in Hospitals or Nursing Homes.

In more states than notThere should be testing of Mrsa in patients
and DRS.,isolation of infected patients and public reporting of Mrsa
hosipital infection rate.

No D. I don't believe your problem is Mrsa but,i've read about,bed bugs
mites,mold {which can be dangerous} I went into a very well known hospital
2 yrs. ago thinking some testing would be a breeze,needle don't bother
me big deal..Hey Sandy while your in lets do that work on you foot,
why not..They did and when the surgeon came in,I was awake be drowsy.
The surgeon my friend Sandee a Nurse friend was sitting with me.
This was a University Teaching Hospital,she didn't know my Dr. I wasn't
seeing well,he's cuts the wrap and begins touching my foot no gloves
didn't wash his hands,my friend told him to put on glovesor get out.
He got out ,he was very angry,she was angry and went to report
him.

That night after having no fever my it shot up to 103,I got sick anyplace
he touched tured into a sores,pus,I got Diahrhea ,They came in took
tons of tests,Mrsa..Now could of come from Dr. Operating room they
do not clean as well as they should you know Patients in and out
fast on bad days..Lockersof DRS. are not cleaned without the permission
of DRS...I should of been put in isolation,no we don't have enough
privite room,but I have Mrsa,well we will wear all the proper gear.One nurse
did once but all that stuff is to hot to wear. One nurse said they tell
us it's cutting or lifespan.,scary huh...

When I go to the hospital I take my own sheets,and blanket and pillow,
Bob will reclean the bed.I do it because theere sheets hurt my skin.there
blakets to heavy and yes a memory foam mattress pad.

This should not have become a legislative it should be within the scope
of professional responsibility.It would be nice if the hospitals stepped up
to the plate,and it is a nice therory that hospitals will do this.But it's a
unproven they are taken this important step.

These bugs have develope a defense against the drugs we use for them.
People expect their Dr.s to give them everytime there sick.Controlling
the Antibotics is key to controlling Mrsa..My short hospital stay,turned
into 6 weeks..This is so serious,and this is my vent. I could tell you
how many people die in hospitals but I won't..I have to report that I
have had Mrsa everytime I go into a hopital.

Thank you I'm not trying to scare any one but do your research,some
us are not left with great ammune systems,and what they gave me
so I wouldn't lose my foot,has done a job on my kidneys. Hugs to all
Sue p.s. D thank you for letting me but in..
