MRSA charges dominate Belfast inquest

Link: RTE News

    An inquest in Belfast has been dominated by the issue of how hospitals deal with the MRSA bug. The widow of a man in his 40s, who was infected while undergoing treatment for back injuries and later died, has alleged hospital staff ignored her warnings about the conditions in which he was being treated. Brendan McDowell, a 43-year-old construction worker from Co Down, was seriously injured in December 2003 when part of a building he was demolishing fell on him.
