I'm glad you got that sorted more easily than the process to eradicate your infection.<BR/><BR/>I had no idea treatment was so complicated or for such a long period of time. <BR/><BR/>MRSA is a huge problem for facilities and now with the community acquired variety rearing its ugly head the general public are getting to hear more and more about it.<BR/><BR/>Good for you for taking it further, although I am sure they will be taking notice. They don't wished to be sued by irate patients' relatives. <BR/><BR/>I spent 9 years on my hospital's safety committee and we took things like this very seriously, although we never had a case of this, we had other problems that required procedural changes and even one floor had to be totally cleansed from mould which was making everyone ill. <BR/><BR/>Good luck with your treatment.jmbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13563252743976699923noreply@blogger.com
