Infection Control
I’ve been running across a few people lately who have had hospital stays and have been discharged with a case of Mrsa. Mrsa is the “superbug” that laughs at antibiotics. Mrsa comes in different forms but in all its forms it is a bad bug to get.
You would think that the hospital would be the cleanest and most sterile, however I believe it’s probably one of the dirtiest, germ infested places you can find. They have it in their power to kill those germs so that no one would leave the hospital sick.
I read in a recent article that over 60% of doctors admit to not properly washing their hands. If that is the doctors habits can you imagine the rest of the hospital staff?
What about more regular cleaning with bleach or something that kills germs? I don’t know what the answer is, but I’m sure if they wanted to they could make hospitals cleaner safer places.
