Hospital bug nearly killed my husband

Link: Evening News 24 - Hospital bug nearly killed my husband.

A woman has launched legal action against the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital after her husband contracted a killer bug while being treated on its stroke unit. Margaret Barkshire's husband Leonard caught MRSA after having a feeding tube, known as a canula, fitted. The 72-year-old was recovering from a stroke and his wife claims the disease has slowed his recovery. His case has raised further questions about cleanliness and hygiene standards at the hospital. Mrs Barkshire, 60, claims the hospital was negligent towards her husband, who was on Gunthorpe Ward for more than four months, and is taking legal advice ahead of suing hospital bosses.
