I live alone and have no contact with schools, sports, hospitals..or prisons. Some of the nurses where I was being treated had never heard of MRSA, another gave me an article to read on how prevalent it is in prisons..again, nothing to do with me! It is definitely out there in the general public. Be alert. I had it last summer. I live alone and have no contact with schools, sports, hospitals..or prisons.

Is that real? this story, this is scary: http://rhoda.mrsastory.com/2007/04/28/mrsa-warning-ignored-in-er/ I took my daughter to the ER last night or a broken finger and a UTI. While we were checking her in I asked if they needed to be notified if she has MRSA. “Has what?” “MRSA. M-R-S-A.” M-R-S-E? I can check her records.” “No, Mam. M-R-S-A.” She checks her computer and finds there is no previous note of it although we have been there before so she scribbles it on a piece of paper for us to give the admitting nurse which we dutifully did. She glanced at it and went on with getting us registered and proceeded to put us in a double room with another patient. Then when they came in to examine and work on my daughter not one of them thought or bothered to even put on gloves or wash their hands before leaving the room. I wonder if they ever did before going on to other patients. Rhonda, i’m reading your blog. some scarry stuff.

I personally know about twenty people who have MRSA and about as many again who I believe have it and wont admit it. It has hit the drug using community and everyone they associate with in my area, Eastern Nebraska and Western Iowa, very hard. Afraid? I'm terrified. Web MD doesn't tell you in detail about all of the people whose whole family are covered in huge, deep, painful, boils who are so desperate they are bathing in bleach daily. Wanna be really scared?
