As a health care professional working in the area, there are many comments that could be made about this case. I am very sorry to hear of the death of Mrs. Tudor but until an investigation has been made it is impossible to know the complete picture. My colleagues and I are rigorous in washing our hands after seeing all our patients. If there is a known case of MRSA then precautions are taken. However with MRSA ANYBODY can be a carrier and simply wearing an apron gloves and a mask will not stop the bacteria being carried through the air by simply breathing or on the visitors that come to the hospital or to the patients home. Aside from vetting evrybody and testing them as they come through the door there is only so much that can be done so stop the spread of MRSA. It will be a long time before any conclusions are found, but please remember that health care staff are only human, doctors can only diagnose based on their clinical experience and knowledge. Every person that I see is different and just because one person with one disease presents in clinic in one way, another pseron may have differing symptoms. Please do not think badly of us- with such staff shortages, we can only do our best.

    The problem in all hospitals now to many Doctors going from one patient to another, not washing there hands and spreading the disease,nurses are just as bad. My mother recently had mrsa from contact with a nurse and Doctor so wash your hands and stop spreading it.
