The man was already on a no-fly list. Existing measures were adequate, but they just didn’t bother to enforce them.

I’ve noticed that facilities in our area involved in a patient transfer are doing a MRSA screen both at the sending hospital and the receiving hospital.

Do you have any idea how many in the COMMUNITY are carriers?

Get some Mentholatum or Vicks and keep the area surrounding the site well coated until it heals. Not many pathogens can withstand the camphor and eucalyptus in those ointments, or the petroleum jelly base either.

Thank you for the suggestion. I think I have some in the medicine cabinet.
