MRSA, |
Welcome to The Patient Connection’s ResBlog or online research discussion into the contraction of Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections.
Since it MRSA discovered in 1961 it has spread from medical facilities such as hospitals and now can be acquired in a community setting as well. Often called Superbug because of its resistance to penicillin it has been a regular topic in the media.
We are interested in finding our more about the experiences of people who have contracted MRSA. I would be great if you could tell your MRSA story or indeed the story of being a family member of a person who has contracted MRSA.
• Was the infection caught in a hospital or acquired in the community often call CAMRSA?
• Did media coverage have any effect of your view of possible infection prior to contracting MRSA?
• Has enough been done to combat and prevent MRSA in hospitals? Could healthcare professionals do more?
• Do you feel that more help should be available to monitor / pre-empt MRSA?
• Is enough done to prevent/and or treat MRSA infection patients once they have left hospital?
That being said we are interested in every aspect of your MRSA story so please feel free to contribute your thoughts. Also do feel free to make any suggestions as to useful MRSA patient resources and share them with other ResBlog users.
To contribute all you need to do is to scroll down the blog. Type a nickname of your choice and the put your comments into the box. Your comments are anonymous of course!
I look forward to reading your stories and, of course, would like to thank you very much for your help.
Best wishes
Belinda
