Say WA? Evergreen State ping
FReepmail sionnsar if you want on or off this ping list.
Ping sionnsar if you see a Washington state related thread.
I’ve often wondered if a dedicated “clean team” that went around constantly disinfecting door knobs, bed railings and other commonly touched areas, would make a difference in combating this stuff.
It’s going to be even better with socialized medicine!
And I thought the mold was bad here...
I've worked in hospitals my entire life....inspections are a "look good" opportunity instead of a "be good" consistency.....
administrations are so paranoid about the inspections THEMSELVES that a great deal of time is put into the "looking good" philosophy, which means looking good on PAPER.....
instead of providing much needed hands on staff, the big shots would rather hire another "consultant" to figure out how to scam the process.....
as to MRSA...hospitals did not create MRSA and it just so happens that it exists everywhere, in schools, in jails, in gyms, etc.....
we know there are people with MRSA because in the hospital we actually dare to TEST people.....I dare the school districts to do that or the jail systems.....they might find out that they carry a large number of cases and then THEY would have to deal with it... would that mean separate cells for all prisoners?....no more athletics?....
MRSA came about simply because of our over use of antibiotics, taking antibiotics carelessly and not finishing prescriptions, and it will increase because people are living longer thx to modern medicine but sadly not always living better ....eg....chronic lung disease, diabetes,heart failure, cancer, hiv.....all these people are highly susceptible to any infections.....a healthy person probably carries MRSA,doesn't always know it, and remains healthy despite it.....
Stay out of hospitals and away from doctors. They’ll make you sick.
and the angel broke the seal and unleashed palgues upon the earth...
Health care workers (doctors included) don’t always wash their hands. Until recently, they relied on antibiotics to clean up any mess that resulted from sloppy hygiene. New Hampshire started a hand washing campaign for hospitals:
Hand Hygiene Training & Competency
All new and current patient care staff members and physicians will be trained in HH and required to demonstrate competency in HH.
How sad is that! (Semmelweis is rolling in his grave...)
I saw a very good documentary on (believe it or not) PBS about the
fight against MRSA.
Included in the show was the FIGHT a doctor had to put up in order to
convince the hospital admininstration to try a special bandage with
embedded antibiotics to fight MRSA in surgical patients.
And how he eventually convinced the hospital managers to spend a paltry
amount of money to order some of the bandages when he showed that the
hospital lost LARGE sums of $$$ for every surgical patient that got MRSA.
Here’s a link to the doctor’s webpage...for future reference.

Simply make all the doorknobs and other things commonly touched, silver-plated and the ability to spread will go way down.

Kills it.
If you read the whole article, you’re probably going to have bad dreams tonight.
That'll work out well. I promise. Nothing can possibly go wrong.
Seriously, my son is 17 and has been hospitilized twice since the age of nine for this at 25k each complication..I can only tell ya that the alternative combat is more effective than what hospitalization will accomplish...There are many alternatives...Does’nt take a lot of research.
