Why all the nosocomial infections? On Tue, 17 Jul 2007 16:45:08 -0700, DrDre_2007_07 wrote: > Why all the nosocomial infections? Sent to me in email: "Uh, because sick people go to hospitals, not healthy people, and when those sick people are immunocompromised, and they have weak immune systems that can't fight off infections, they get more nosocomial infections. That is why there are so many nosocomial infections." Can you cite any data showing that immunocompetent patients are immune from nosocomial infections? Granted this is only anecdotal, but I know at least one immunocompetent patient who caught super-staff at one of those 'renowned' NYC hospitals. And I know a guy who quit working in a prestigious hospital, because he was disgusted by the management's negligence towards keeping the hospital clean. It's hardly open to debate. Any reader can walk into any hospital, and see that most hospitals are filthy.

Any reader can walk into any hospital, and see >that most hospitals are filthy. The ones I've seen lately are not. But the incidence of nosocomial infections can certainly be cut way down. It simply requires the staff to be a lot more vigilant about hand-washing. As for the "staff" (hee hee hee) infections, that requires screening patients when they come in; a small percentage are going to be infected. Hospitals resist doing the screening because of the cost, but there are now studies coming in that show it's a lot more cost-effective to do it than not (because it's so expensive to treat the MSRA cases). -- David Wright :: alphabeta at prodigy.net These are my opinions only, but they're almost always correct.

On the contrary, it has worked -- but it's hard to keep the staff doing it. -- David Wright :: alphabeta at prodigy.net These are my opinions only, but they're almost always correct.
