I chose to be the patient with possible MRSA.
- Is this infection likely MRSA?
- What would a MRSA infection look like on a patient; for example, describe how the wound presents.
- Was the patient exposed to MRSA in the hospital prep, during the surgery the week previously or sometime afterwards (post- discharge)?
- Where does liability for this (potential) infection rest? Is it the responsibility of the patient (making sure she followed her discharge instructions, etc), nurse(s), scrub technicians, physicians, surgeons and/or infectious disease specialists to ensure resistant diseases are kept in check in hospitals?
