Lawyers for Victims of Hospital Negligence
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), infections acquired in hospitals or at other types of health care facilities are one of the top 10 leading causes of death in the United States each year.
One type of hospital infection in particular, Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA, pronounced "MuRSA"), is especially widespread and dangerous. In fact, the CDC's own data indicates that 63 percent of all hospital and health care-related infections in 2004 were MRSA staph infections.
The real tragedy here is that MRSA infections are preventable.
