MRSA: The victims strike back

Link: MRSA: The victims strike back | the Daily Mail.

Keith Hall bristled with anger as he came face to face with two burly security guards at the Princess Alexandra Hospital in Harlow, Essex. Brandishing a filthy cleaning mop and cloth, he stood firm - he'd done nothing wrong. The hospital was covered in dirt and dust - a breeding ground for the deadly virus MRSA - and all he wanted to do was clean up. With Britain currently suffering a hospital hygiene crisis - earlier this year official figures revealed that the death rate from the superbug MRSA had risen 39 per cent in one year - the enthusiasm of this hospital worker was, perhaps, a little unusual. After all, cleaners are often accused of being lackadaisical. In fact, 60-year-old Keith was no ordinary cleaner. A middle-class proprietor of an animal hospital in Norfolk, he lost his wife to MRSA four years ago and was taking part in a BBC2 documentary investigating the state of hygiene in Britain's hospitals.
