Fresh MRSA cases

Ben Turner
6/ 8/2008

AT LEAST two patients have contracted the MRSA superbug at Macclesfield Hospital since April following intravenous injections by staff.

Refresher training has since been carried out amid fears the technique used in inserting cannula tubes into the patients may have caused the bacteraemia (bloodstream) infection.

   Its a disgrace. I know it doesnt directly come under his remit but Bill North at the council likes to talk himself up, Bill - what are your views?

   They should also clean hospitals out with HYDROGEN PEROXIDE regularly,one of the strongest disinfectants known to man that even kills infections within the body. Our mother used to put it in our ears for ear infections as children, you just ask the chemist for it no prescription necasery. The problem is IT COSTS NOTHING. so big pharma cant make any money out of it.

   There is no excuse for these hospital aquired bugs at all.

Bring back the big tubs of salt into the bathrooms, Everybody who puts a couple of handsfull of salt in there bathwater will not catch hospital aquired bugs then whilst taking a bath, and also they will effectively be disinfecting the bath for the next person who uses it.

My sister is in there right now,She has sclerosis of the liver (not by self abuse deinking i might add). she has nearly died twice this last few weeks, (family having been sent for on two occasions) because she caught septicemia in macclesfield hospital. She is recovering now, but it was touch and go and yes she had canula placed in her body how else did she get septicemia???
