Jeffrey, Alastair – we talked a little about the U.S.-European hospital differences a while back. One thing left with me is the difference in actual missions between US and Euro operations; e.g. many U.S. medical facilities are treating a wider range of patients, thereby increasing infection risk. I doubt this accounts for ALL of the differences, but it must play a role…?
Crystal – that is a “yikesfest” on the infection! Between your stories and Paulette’s, it sounds like child care can be a particularly dangerous profession for ADR patients (seriously).
Any way, yet another story about MSRA…or should we say Mrs. A? Though this story talks about risks with tatoos, it offers a more succinct description than the lengthier article I posted; see
here.
