A MAN says he will take legal action against Basildon Hospital after catching MRSA. Pietre Sannister, 63, was caring for his sick step-mum when he suffered a nervous breakdown. He was taken into hospital and five weeks later he fell out of bed and broke his hip, which needed to be operated on. It was then he believes he caught the flesh-eating bug, which left a gaping "hole" in his left heel. Mr Sannister, of Stansfield Road, Benfleet, has been out of hospital for seven months, but still cannot walk. His weight has dropped from 13 stone to eight stone. He also claims he caught the superbug C.diff during his nine-month stay at Basildon hospital and the neighbouring Mental Health Unit. Mr Sannister has now consulted solicitors with a view to claiming compensation. advertisement He said: "I kept on coming out with sores, from the MRSA, on my feet.
