All hospitals use cleanliness to fight MRSA. I work in an inner-city
hospital with a poor immigrant(legal and illegal) population and we
use every precaution that your "boutique" hopsital uses.
The difference is our patients BRING MRSA into the hopsital with
them. They are admitted for abcesses that are already infected with
MRSA from home. Requiring us to use more supplies(gown/
extra time when we go into the room.
Many of them live in unsanitary conditions in overcrowded houses and
apt's. MRSA is rampant in many inner-city areas and will continue to
be so unless living conditions are different then they currently are.
I have worked at this same hospital for 22 years and the increase in
MRSA has increased drastically along with the uninsured clinetle!!
Of course these type hospitals MRSA statistics will be higher than in
an expensive high end neighborhood!
stepping off my soapbox now.........
