If I heard right about 2 million patients are infected with MRSA a year. And about 90,000 die each year. Why doesn.t anybody care? Why are Hospitial not accountable? I have been reading that most of the Mrsa infections can be stop by Pre screening patiants before surgerys.Making it a mandentory requirement of every hospitalto do the screening.
