Lorri, I believe what happened to you was similar to that reported in a 3-part series by the Chicago Tribune in July 2002. Little has been done to improve the problems that prompted Michael J. Berens to write the serious that can be found in the Chicago Tribune Archives: Infection epidemic carves deadly path
Poor hygiene, overwhelmed workers contribute to thousands of deaths Series: TRIBUNE INVESTIGATION: UNHEALTHY HOSPITALS. First of three parts.

It is one of the best treatments of the infection problem I have seen but very little impacts the huge hospital/healthcare lobby that continues to withhold facts of the epidemic of MRSA from an unsuspecting public. A lady in the Tribune story had a recurring and permanent disability from the infection contracted in surgery. Everything that can be done to suppress the truth and conceal the extent of the infection problem is being done right up to lobbying legislatures in most states to actually aid concealment and prevent accountability. What you do hear about is tort reform to prevent physicians and hospitals from being held liable negligence. I can\’t imagine how they have continued to hide the truth but think about this: You enter any and every hospital without knowing whether they are in the midst of an epidemic or if they are adequately staff. Their mortality rate is unknown and you cannot find the information even if you try. You know more about the McDonalds you eat lunch in than you do the hospital that is responsible for your care.
How long will it be before the public DEMANDS change, accountability, knowledge and major prevention methods.
I empathize with your pain. I was in the same place that you are when my husband died after contracting MRSA and Pseudomonas. The anger, sadness and loss echoes in my mind and heart every day. It is for this reason that I continue to write and alert others to the problem we have with hospitals. It is now dangerous to enter some hospitals for any type procedure. Think of Lorri who is a nurse and went in for elective surgery. They blame her for an infection she contracted in the hospital. They blamed my husband for having a compromised immune system. The bottom line is that these are infections from bacteria that is being transmitted inside the hospital, not outside. In fact it is so serious that now MRSA is moving into a community acquired version. The hospitals may then challenge the argument that they are the source of the problem.
