It's ironic that the doctors and nurses have to be educated in basic procedures of hygiene. I suppose that one excuse is that hospitals, particularly urgent care departments are a little overloaded. It's reassuring to know that Canadian provinces (the delivery of health care is the responsibility of provincial govt., the feds just kick in some money), and that most of them are responding to voter concerns and putting billions more into health care. (For those who are interested, Alberta would like to have about 400, 000 workers in the "skilled" areas ... this includes thousands of jobs in the health care sector ... money is great, and the Rockies are in your backyard.) I do think that we need more research into why certain strains of "bug" are becoming more resistant to drugs. I think it has a lot to do with what we eat. But that is my hobby horse ... so I won't inflict it on anyone else.
