SCREENING SAVES LIVES
Again, another study this spring was
released proving that screening (surveillance) for MRSA works in drastically reducing MRSA infections - this one is from Evanston
Northwestern Healthcare and Dr. Lance Peterson in Illinois.
With nearly 200 studies showing that screening
of at-risk patients does control MRSA and entire northern European countries and western Australia using screening and isolation,
why is the CDC ( The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ) dragging it's feet while so much needless pain and suffering
along with deaths are occurring?
You would think that the CDC would make MRSA screening a priority in
their lax and lengthy guidelines and revise them.
The CDC wants all Americans to be screened for HIV, but
not MRSA, which more people die and are infected from than HIV. How many more people need to tragically die and
be infected?
Every single healthcare facility in the U.S. should be screening all at-risk patients for MRSA and
if they started today, it would still take ten years to get the MRSA epidemic under control - that is how out-of-control this
disease is.
