What is happening with the heath and hygeine of our hospitals?????
As it is i had a call from a very close frind last night to let me know a friend of ours had died in hospital of MRSA, now to bring you kind of in the picture, about 7-8years ago a frien of mine was out in a car as a passenger, there was a serious crash which my frien was paralysed from the neck down, he then moved to yorkshire to be closer to his mum and could be under 24hr care, His carer a lovely girl fell in love with him as he did with her, they got married and she had loved and cared for him since, we have all been to see him regulary and we are all so proud of him to have been as strong as his is and has coped so amazingly.
Now in the run up to events about 2weeks ago he was admitted to hospital with a chest infection and a collapsed lung and had regained some strength back to start fighting the chest infection, whilst trying to recover, he got MRSA from the hospital he was in and died yesterday morning. Now the sad thing is that we where all so so close when we where kids and no matter what we always vowed we would remain friends no matter what we do/achive in life, unfortunatly a hand full of us fell out for truely pathetic reasons and this has now brought us all back together again minus one, It could have been anyone of us as we have all had a some point a very bad car crash and it was him who suffered the most but he has been the strongest out of all of us
I am so proud of him and how far he came in life, And i know he will be missed badly. It made me think this morning WE ALL take advantage of what we have and our able bodies.

What is happening to our hospitals?
Matrons no longer able to run a ward with an iron fist, nurses too bloody lazy to do the most basic of tasks, contract cleaners, management, goverment targets, no money in the NHS.....
Sorry to hear about your mate, and a good thing is that you are all back in contact now.

If it helps, MRSA is usually brought into hospitals by visitors, it's something that most people carry.
The cleanliness of the hospitals can't always be blamed when for instance, a visitor hugs someone, handles their personal belongings etc. Nothing they can do about that.
Sure - but do they have the same problem with MRSA in France, Italy, Germany?The cleanliness of the hospitals can't always be blamed when for instance, a visitor hugs someone, handles their personal belongings etc. Nothing they can do about that.

Of course there's something they can do about it! The fact is, although hospital infections kill far more people than, say, road fatalities, scandalously they are allowed to continue because they are not high priority for this Government.

We don't see the same deaths ocurring in our private hospitals, because they take the common sense necessary step of screening patients before admittance.
So in answer to the OP's "WHY? MRSA"... because the Goverment don't give a damn.

My Mrs recently had a very small op as a day care patient (still under general anaesthetic though). They called her in a couple of weeks before & swabbed her for MRSA etc s that they would have time to give her an antibiotic if she was carrying it - which I thought was quite good.
Then the hospital itself seemed to me to be pretty clean and that was good too & everything ran very efficiently.
Then , when the op was done, my son & I went to pick her up and we just walked in from the carpark (could have been carrying anything on our shoes) and were shown right into the day surgery ward to where my Mrs was sitting in a chair. Whilst in there a couple of people were brought in on rolling beds, obviously just having come out of surgery pretty recently, and a couple more were sat up in bed or on chairs - and that bit seemed a bit odd to me I have to say. I would have expected to be kept out of such an area unless I had changed my shoes etc.

And it stereotypes like that that are not helping matters. Matrons no longer able to run a ward with an iron fist, nurses too bloody lazy to do the most basic of tasks, contract cleaners, management, goverment targets, no money in the NHS.....
As someone mentioned a lot of the difficulties now are because hard working nurses are no longer in charge of their own wards.
Thank you all so much for your input and support guys.
It was just sad to think that only 7-8years ago he was fully able bodied as you and me are, and some spine less scally drove like a tool caused a major and almost fatal crash which resulted in him paying for it for the rest of his life, the worst bit as well the driver and other passenger ran off from the crash with bad cuts and bruises and left him there to die.

That's right.Most admissions in private hospitals are elective, i.e. you choose to come in for them on a date which suits you. In which case they don't let you in if you screen positive until clear.
Many NHS admissions are unplanned, i.e. emergencies or urgent care where you can't wait. GP calls you an ambulance there and then (mainly in relation to elderly population).
Should we be doing better? -Probably
Is it as simple as the newspaper headlines and some posts here make out? -Of course its fecking not.
