MRSA Notes

My dear friend and the moderator of our MRSA forum, Peg McQueary, has her incredible story featured tonight on Nightline (11:35pm ABC).  I can’t begin to tell you how much Peg has touched my heart in the almost 3 years now that I have known her.   My husband can testify that I have spent […]

MRSA Support chairman, and friend, Tony Field has come out this week and accused Irish hospitals of discharging patients early, without MRSA testing, then when the patients come back in a few weeks, they call their MRSA “community-acquired.” All of this effort just so they can show lower infection rates.

Don’t forget about our chat tonight, 10 pm Eastern time in our chat room!
My modem crashed at the end of last week, so I wanted to apologize for not keeping up with the news, or very much in the MRSA forum either. My email was also down, so I have a boatload of emails […]

I have added a couple of sections to the Superbug Wiki this morning, the first is Media Links, where you can find and add links to places where you can submit your MRSA story for possible publication, and the second is a place where you can add your doctors name and contact information if […]

Ugh, I adore my computer, but boy do I not adore when it hiccups on me. Even though we got an hour late start, as usual we met someone new, and I hope we gave her a little bit of help with her questions. Please put on your calendar to join us next […]

We have been slacking the last couple of weeks on the chat announcements, as I guess we have all been busy busy, but we are going back to it starting tonight, 10 pm Eastern time. Meet us in our chatroom, when you are asked to login, just type whatever name you would like to […]
