My husband (54 years of age)was admitted to a southern california hospital for cardiac surgery, a 6 day stay turned into 6 weeks and ultimately he died from MRSA contracted during his stay. His death has been devasting to my family. I also work in the medical profession and I trusted the hospital I sent my husband to, to take care of him, keep him well and send him home. I have contacted an attorney and the burden of proof lies with the plaintiff to prove he contracted the disease during his hospitalization and then prove if the superbug had been identified earlier if his death could have been avoided!
