LETTER TO THE EDITOR:

VA hospitals show how to address MRSA infections

Sun, Aug 29, 2010 (2:01 a.m.)

MRSA infections in local hospitals lead to unnecessary losses: financially and in terms of health and actual lives.

The solution: Do as Veterans Affairs does — test every incoming patient and isolate those testing positive.

America is known as a country of great ingenuity, but what about common sense? Don’t waste more time, money and lives on mandating hospitals to report cases of this infection.

Skip all that and solve the problem, now.
