A survey earlier this year suggested that MRSA infections, including noninvasive mild forms, affect 46 out of every 1,000 U.S. hospital and nursing home patients — or as many as 5 percent.

You get this infection by staying in Hospitals. Which Hospitals have the worse records? Good luck on finding out!

The Federal Public Health people know, but they won't release this info. You notice the Congressional Committees demanding answers, of course.

Fuagh!!!

A friend's father in law suffered a stroke so went into a hospital in cali last year. 3 days later he was dead from staff infection.

Also........never let a person give you an injection unless they confirm who you are and cross reference it with your chart. 32 yr old friend was in hospital back in '77 and given an injection of med that was meant for his room mate. He was dead shortly there after.
