It's a shame. My sister went to the hospital for a routine procedure to remove kidney stones. She caught a staff infection called CDIFF, not sure of the acronym spelling, from the hospital and died.

I am sorry for your loss, but C. diff is not a Staph infection.

I am so sorry. My Father-in-law got staph-a at a good hosp in Chicago area over 10 years ago during open heart.

Oh my Lord. So sorry for your loss. No such thing as a routine procedure really.

"The shambolic state of infection control on wards is exposed in a survey by the Patients' Association. It found only about a quarter of trusts are gathering data on Clostridium difficile (C. diff), the bacterium that experts say poses more of a risk to public health than MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus)."
