Wouldn’t want to be in the medical field.

BTW, my Mom caught MRSA at a hospital. It contributed to her death. Nasty stuff. I doesn’t just affect your skin, either.

Sounds as if the article is paving the way for the attorneys.

I hate these articles. We have the best health care system in the world.... the attorneys and the insurance companies are trying hard to put an end to that.

I’ve read a lot about intravenous Vit C for many kinds of infections and inflammation.

“But one of the easiest ways to keep from spreading MSRA is for the nurses and doctors to simply wash their hands as soon as they enter the patient’s rooms and before they touch anything.”

When I was in the hospital here in San Diego (Mercy) for surgery and a stay for more than 4 days, every single person that came into my room (private room) washed their hands for the required amount of time with soap before they even came over to my bed. I was impressed!
