4 incision wounds all infected with MRSA - widow to sue
Link: Widow Of Mrsa Victim Threatens To Sue Trust (from The Argus).
A care worker who had enjoyed perfect health throughout his life died of MRSA three weeks after being admitted to hospital for minor surgery. David Ham was admitted to the Conquest Hospital in St Leonards to have fluid removed from under his lungs but contracted the killer virus and died. Now the 60-year-old's widow is threatening to sue medical chiefs for negligence unless they take action to prevent MRSA claiming any more lives. A pathologist's report revealed Mr Ham's body was infected with MRSA in the four places hospital staff had inserted tubes into his body after he was admitted.
