MRSA Notes

This article, Pendulum, by Robert Klassen, addresses an aspect of infection control which baffles all of us who have been affected by infection. He offers up some reasoning behind what seems like a cover up by the government, hospitals, the CDC, attorneys who won’t take cases and basically everyone having anything to do with infection that isn’t a patient.

Pendulum is in response to another previously published article by Mr. Klassen, Infection Control. He received a variety of interesting responses to this article:

One nurse said MRSA was a hoax and the procedures were unnecessary. Another nurse said their whole staff had MRSA and they didn’t have time to follow procedures. One citizen said these sick people should die at home. Another citizen said that germ theory is nonsense. Sounds like confusion to me. A valuable input on how seriously they take this problem outside the US was sent by another reader; this article also blames the CDC for letting things get out of hand.

Here is a teaser, and the beginning of his theory - please go read his article to find out the proverbial “rest of the story.”

If a given issue, like HIV, SARS, or Bird Flu, hits the media and gains popular attention, it immediately becomes a political football and the State decrees new policies, procedures, and money, while the real problems go begging.

This is what each one of us working towards awareness of MRSA is hoping to do. We don’t want to cause panic - we want desperately to bring this out into the public, so someone with some influence will grab hold and do something. Because something CAN be done.
