MRSA and DEATH
To the doctors like mine who claim there are not people dying of MRSA, it is in the news today that there were 18650 deaths due to MRSA in the US in 2005, while here in 2007 we are still looking at the tip of the iceberg. I read of a suggestion in the MRSA Resources site this morning that suggested we all get together for a walk across America or something to bring more awareness to this disease ravaging our country. I don’t know about the long walk but a National awareness program is an excellent idea. We already have an awareness month but it doesn’t seem to even catch the medical community’s attention. Any ideas anyone?? They can be posted her or at the MRSA Resources site.
Have a great day out there and keep your noses clean!

Now it’s up to 3 kids dying, I think over the last 3 days in a row.

I, too am a surviver of MRSA. I had a tooth extracted from a Maxilofacial surgeon in Joplin, MO who allowed his tech to remove what was to be “sterile” instruments that were to be used during the procedure. People who are immune suppressed and are “VERY INFATIC” with those who are caring for them and advised them and others about their situation, but the medical personnel ignore the information because they are so consumed with their title and the money they are charging,and making that they cause others to become infected and enventually cost people their careers, family, and almost their lives. I believe the CDC as well as JCHO should make hospitals, clinics, and any medical facility keep records of the number of patients who become or have contracted MRSA within their facility, not to mention more knowledge being supplied to the public about this. This comes from someone who worked in the medical field and misses her career very much.
