Interesting bit of news on the so-called MRSA pandemic
MRSA 'brought back' into hospital
When Jules was in hospital the second time round there were a number of outbreaks. Always affecting the patients around her, but never her. But, interestingly, the staff would always say that the cleaning and aprons were to protect the patients from us, not us from the patients. So, reading this news reaffirms the point that cleanliness at home is as important as when at hospital. Hospital's can be the cleanest places in the world, but if we don't all follow the same rules, it's pointless.
The other bit of news, this time on breast cancer research, is kind of odd:
Daily stress stops breast cancer
All research on cancer I've come across always suggests as a preventative measure to try and reduce stress. In fact, most medical advice on any aliment suggests stress causes problems. So its interesting to read that regular doses of stress are a good thing, and acute stress, for example a bereavement, is a bad thing.
Of course, this doesn't mean I can double my workload and take on the helm more often because it's a healthly thing to do, in case anyone from work is reading this
