I am outraged !!!  I can't believe no one is holding the hospitals accountable for spreading this awful superbug. When I  recently went to visit my best friend in the hospital the nurse told me he has MRSA and VRE.  NO one coming in or out was wearing protective clothing or gloves or washed any equipment or their own hands!!!  I also took my daughter to the doctors office the other day and not the doctor or the nurses washed their hands before of after being in the room. 

People we have to speak up and say something.  Do you really want someone touching you that has touched 100 other sick people that day?  Do you want  medical equipment used on you when you don't know where it's been?  Let's get real!!!! We are all moaning and groaning over the high cost of health care and the care we are getting is laced with superbugs because someone doesn't feel like washing their hands 200 times a day or disinfecting the equipment properly!!!!! 

I understand the superbugs are not only found in the hospital, I understand the types, the schools are disinfecting and teaching the students what to do. Why aren't we speaking up and demanding the same for our doctors, nurses and all health care personnel?

People are suffering needlessly, people are DYING!!!!!
