Dear Brothers,
In my humble opinion the current MRSA “outbreak” has much to do with overcrowding within hospital wards, lack of simple ventilation, and poor hygiene by hospital staff (you’d think they’d know better, would you not?).
For our own part, I urge you all to insist that only “decontaminated” (ie, clean) equipment is allowed into your workshops, and to follow the advice of Dr. Semmelweis and wash your hands, wash your hands, and then wash your hands!
Remember, however, that the great Dr. Semmelweis was so hounded and ridiculed for beseeching his fellow surgeons to wash their hands after autopsies, before performing surgery, or when delivering a baby, that he ended up in an asylum for the insane!
