Armageddon has arrived

Also, I just heard that Father Guido Sarducci announced that the Pope has caught the "Bird Flu", apparently caught from a Cardinal.

Yes, another media-driven frenzy.

Two weeks ago here in Atlanta they ran a segment on MRSA, and then the next day there was another, on a different channel. Two days after that, CNN was running a segment on it, but they kept calling it "MSRA". -Dolts.

Now everyone is talking about MRSA in schools, hospitals, etc., and everyone thinks they have it.

There came a stomach bug a couple weeks ago, too, and since the viral bloom began, we've been getting priority one calls for "abdominal pn", where the "pt" c/o N/V/D plus fever for two or three days. It's a bug, people...

Nope no more calls for MRSA than anything else.

For some years now I have worn a MRSA sticker on my employment badge as a little joke for people to laugh at. You can always tell the staff at hospitals you get the joke and those that think I'm serious. Not a shift goes by that a Nurse doesn't ask me "Do you have MRSA?." I usually answer with, "No, but a preventative measure of antibiotics will make sure that I do." or sometimes... "Don't you?"

Make sure to wash with good 'ol soap and water (cut down on the purell), and either eat a lot of yogurt or take acidophilous supplements. That should keep the MRSA away.
