I an thrilled to pass on the news that an 89 year old woman in the UK, Mrs. Cole, won a “substantial” lawsuit for negligence in a lawsuit against the Princess of Wales Hospital when she contracted MRSA through what the hospital actually admits was a lack of the staff following protocol in place to protect her. Lawsuits have been won in the UK before but never with the hospital in question admitting they were at fault. I am not a lawsuit happy person; BUT I have to say I do love that hospitals everywhere will fear this loss of money more now since loss of money seems to be what motivates hospitals to do gross things like flip over sheets between patients. If it is apparent that it will cost more to pay off lawsuits than to wash hands and change sheets then maybe these things will become common in hospitals and clinics.
