Drink driving and MRSA
Posted by Hengest on Tuesday, December 9th, 2008
Nobody in their right mind, condones drink driving but here are a couple of statistics that I think you should be aware off.
Last year, national records show that 460 people were killed in drink driving related accidents. Grim figures indeed.
During the same period, 8,324 people died as a result of catching either the MRSA or C-difficile hospital superbugs. Even grimmer and more shameful figures.
Now, with the Christmas anti-drink driving campaign in full swing, with hundreds of thousands of people being randomly stopped on their way from work and early next morning, now might be a good time to have a Christmas Campaign on the wards of our hospitals checking for the spreaders of the disease.
Just thought you might like to know also, that since Labour have been in power, over 37,000 people have died as a result of their inaction in enforcing hygiene in our hospitals.

Nicoleon 19 Dec 2008 at 3:47 am 1This time last year I was finding out that I didnt have cancer because my test results were botched from a yearly exam AND I got someone else’s bloodwork from something else. I found out in February while reading the morning paper that about 300 people in Winnipeg were messed up that way from October to December 2007. So I got someone’s bad test results and they needed help that they didnt get right away. Last month a nurse – NURSE – was reusing a lancet to take blood at a hospital in St Boniface here in the city. She said she didn’t know that was wrong. I wonder if the NDP is like the Labour Party because that is who runs this province!!!
