Maureen Dowd of NY Times Addresses Hospital Infections ($BONU)
In the modern world, many "causes" need a "Champion" to push that cause into the public's psyche. AIDS had Elizabeth Taylor and Austim has Bob Wright former President of NBC.
Maureen Dowd of the New York Times is a winner of the 1999 Pulitzer Prize for distinguished commentary, and became a columnist on The New York Times Op-Ed page in 1995. Yesterday, Ms. Dowd wrote a very interesting and very personal Op-Ed column on hospital infections. It stated:
"When my brother went into the hospital with pneumonia, he quickly contracted four other infections in the intensive care unit. Anguished, I asked a young doctor why this was happening. Wearing a white lab coat and blue tie, he did a show-and-tell. He leaned over Michael and let his tie brush my sedated brother’s hospital gown. “It could be anything,” he said. “It could be my tie spreading germs.” Michael died in that I.C.U."
Dowd also states:
- Infections kill 100,000 patients in hospitals and other clinics in the U.S. every year.
- The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says that health care workers, even doctors and nurses, have a “poor” record of obeying hand-washing rules.
- A report in the April issue of Health Affairs indicated that one out of every three people suffer a mistake during a hospital stay.
