[Spridgets] Arm Staph Infection

[an5.sprite at gmail.com]

Hospitals are a major source of Staph infections. They all try to clean everything but some are better than others. I heard of a case where the bacteria was on a cell phone key pad. Guess what is never sanitized, even better the nurses or lab techs will ogten put on gloves and if they get a call just answer the phone.  All the bacteria is now on these supposedly clean gloves that hold the needle they insert.

The really scary case is MRSA which is an antibiotic resistant form fo Staph. When someone has that they are quarantined.
 

Feel better.

geez there were some seriously sick looking people in radiology that day
not to mention the guy doing the IV - eewwwww...

All I was doing was trying to take care of myself, this is exactly why I
won't let anyone I don't KNOW touch my Midget or Sprite.
I'm more freaking careful with my cars than I am of my body.

I just learned something about myself.

Rick (just call me lefty)
