HOL SHOWER SCALD VICTIM GETS MRSA

Link: The Daily Record

A TOURIST badly scalded by water from a hotel shower has picked up the superbug MRSA. Brian O'Brien, 32, was found to be infected as he awaited surgery on second degree burns to his arm. Doctors say he's likely to have contracted the bug before leaving Spain, where he was injured. But they insist it's not life-threatening and despite Brian having to remain in quarantine at St John's Hospital in Livingston, they are determined to carry on with skin grafts to his arm.
