» Alicia Mae Prater - Are you afraid of MRSA or other resistant bacteria?

Yes, preventive measures, like I said. Laurie Garrett's "Betrayal of Trust" is a very interesting read about the status of the public health infrastructure. She starts with the history, goes through the expectations and how it should be, then investigates how it is and that the problem is global. One region or country can do everything possible, but if doctors everywhere don't wash their hands, sterilize their instruments, and develop or follow treatment guidelines then we all lose.
