MRSA etc in hospitals..

[Loosehead]

Is it just me who's noticed this.I went to vist someone in hospital the other day and it's like a bleedin sauna! No wonder the hospitals are full of dangerous bacterea, they are incubating them. No amount of cleaning is going to help if they are effectively farming MRSA. Why don't they turn the heating off and issue more bed clothes etc. There's even radiators in the loo, asking for trouble.

Would you rather have the patients die of hypothermia then loosehead? As a lot of the patients are inactive due to whatever illness they are in hospital for they will feel the cold more than visitors who are more mobile and able to generate their own heat. I am going into hospital on monday and it had bloody well better be warm in there!!!

hope nothing too serious daffy...i went to visit my partners gran last wkend and it was completly different...we had to shut the curtains of these huge windows at 8 at nite to prevent the draft as it was so cold and then we located a terrible draft in the ward which was coming from a window wide open in the public toilet...needless to say she didnt catch mrsa...but my nana was in hospital last year (different hospital) and it is pristine clean and was very warm and yes uv guessed in she caught mrsa!

The reason MRSA is rife in hospitals is because they are dirty. There is no other reason.

heat the necessary areas to a sensible degree. The lobby Corridors, loos etc do not need to be 90 degrees! Now I'm not in hostital a lot but I can't remember them being so hot in my few previous vistis back n the dim and distant. I'm talking about Bournemouth of course. What's it like near others?

My Mum's going to hospital for an operation on Monday, as has been pre-warned at assessment appointment to take her coat as the ward is very cold! Maybe it's to make people exercise more to get better more quickly (it's an orthopaedic hospital)
