Hospital Infection Lawsuits

I work for a cleaning company,,I clean a surgical center..and found out today ,,,for the third time in 2-3 months....a patient was seen who has MRSA ...The center in an eye surgery center,and is not even supposed to take MRSA patients. I am concerned I am not in the best of health . I treated last year for Hepatitis C and still have both physical and mental disorders that I am being treated for. I cleaned the center,,and was not told I need to wear a mask,double glove,,I asked the nurses how long it can stay active on surfaces ,,should I be concerned,,they we're clueless,,trying to google the questions I asked, This is the 3rd time ...I don't know if will get this disease ,,but wanted to know what to do ..if I do get it,,and if I should have been informed,,again they are not even to treat patients with MRSA...any info is appreciated ,Thank you.

My husband was in the hospital for un explained blood loss, a colonscopy was performed. After the procedure, prior to discharge the following morning - he complained of pain in his buttock. He was ignored by nursing staff and was released later that day. I later found out that upon discharge his temp was 9.4 - nothing was told to me about the low temp and he continued to complain of pain in the buttock. Within 12 hrs of discharge my husband was screaming in agony. He had developed the flesh eating bacteria which ate up his whole lower body - within a week he was dead. Had the hospital listened to his complaints have pain and checked into why his temp was so low - something may have been done, before the infection got as bad as it did. No one, should go into a hospital, and end up dying as he did.

My husband had neck surgery in 10/21/15. We went to the Dr. He put him on antibiotic for two weeks. We had to go back to our family dr. He got more antibiotics. In all he had 3 different antibiotics We came back to the surgon. On 12/2/15 he was told he need surgery again. 4 days later we were told he had contracted MRSA. It's 12/27/15 we are driving back to Houston to see the surgeon again. We are hoping and praying this will take care of the problem.

Kaiser in Vallejo caused the infection when I went in for a colonoscopy. One month later I broke out with boils on my buttocks. Now every time I have any type of blemish, I get an infection and the hospital tells me I have MRSA. I am a 78-year-old woman and do not know what to do. Can you help me?

My father suffered a stroke three years ago and was admitted to hospital for around 6 months as it was a major stroke he suffered from at home. They delegated a hospital social worker to place my father in a rest home as I had not been given enough time to find the right home for my fathers needs and care. I never signed my father in the home so the social services are liable along with several departments for his demise. The care home I placed two safety orders on and neglect orders against them for negligence due to many things happening to my father, their lack of care and safety. They left a catheter in my father for five months and his daughter myself noticed that he had a severe UTI due to the smell and colour of his urine. I rang his doctor and he even had a PCT nurse with him that day and she never noticed the signs of sepsis. They had put my father to bed shaking with a fever saying he was cold and felt like he was dying ( he was very compos mentis even through the effects of the stroke on his body. I rang his doctor and screamed at the nurse in charge that she was negligent as the blood pressure machine failed and she said it was faulty. Went to get another and it measured very high. The heart monitor was broken and very old. The temperature device was not even registering. My father was taken into hospital after myself his daughter rang an ambulance along with his doctors agreement whom I asked to note the neglect, was livid at the care homes managers response of he was fine earlier. The consultant at the hospital was very perturbed as to why a catheter was left in so long and explained it should be changed every two months to three months, also should be checked for any allergy to the material in some people. My father had contracted sepsis. The hospital left my father screaming in pain for an hour in that time I had asked three doctors to get him some pain relief at the end of that hour I asked to see the person in charge and that I could report them if no pain relief was given. Upon asking a passing doctor he prescribed morphine and it was given straight away along with a drip with IV antibiotics and a sample sent to the micro lab. My father continued to get better then took a turn for the worse a month after being in hospital. We were told he had contracted DC through the antibiotics and was bleeding badly from his rectum and the doctors were having a meeting as to give a blood transfusion as he was severely ill. He was complaining of so much pain in is right side (gall bladder area) when asking the consultant for a scan on this area his Response was no he thought the pain was coming from his hernia. I was determined and was not undermined by this consultant and demanded he have a scan or i would hold him responsible. They finally agreed. My dads gall bladder was very swollen and when the consultant spoke to me he said he had asked the surgeon and he felt he was not well enough to have surgery. He was returned to the home, despite my concerns. I had put a safety order out on the home. I spoke to the social services and many departments it was making myself very ill. I continued the fight for them to find him somewhere. They tried labeling my father with dementia when two solicitors had proven my father was of sound mind. My father asked me to take over his affairs through lasting power of attorney explaining he trusted me explicitly 100%. The ball then got rolling yet in between me looking for another safe place for my father he was rushed in hospital again by myself ringing the ambulance he had the same symptoms complaining of the pain he previously had for months in his back. The care home said it was due to him sitting or being in bed and they turned him every hour pffft. The hospital found a grade four pressure wound causing him yet again sepsis his organs were shutting down days later even though on the correct antibiotics. I received a call early morning at home saying my father was unresponsive and they took us into a side room saying he was dying and be prepared to face this. I held my father and sang an ancient American Indian chant knowing it would really reach inside his mind. He opened his mind and told me to shut up :-) he recovered but was still very sick. He was transported to a rehabilitation hospice where I explain I wanted my father kept in his room not mixing with other patients due to my concerns over hospital acquired infections. One day was told my father had contracted MRSA and we had to take precautions gloves, apron and scrubbing up before entering or leaving his side room. Months later he was placed in the dining room after my instructions not to place him with other patients whom may put my fathers health in jeopardy. I was informed from a member of staff their were several patients with pneumonia and I explained I did not want my father contracting it with his immune system being so low. Upon vising which I did every single day, we found him in the dining room sat close to a patient hacking all over my father. I immediately requested my father be placed in his room, explaining my concerns for my father. He contracted pneumonia which he suffered from severely. I asked for a meeting with the sister in charge and the top consultant dealing with my father. He explained from my fathers file his gall bladder had also ruptured before the scan, so the other hospital had hidden this from me. How much more could my father suffer. This contributed to his immune system being so low and him being placed where he contracted pneumonia this is what killed him. Each day watching my father slowly fading away. It took around three months of his suffering before he passed away. I told them they were all were responsible and will have justice in my fathers name. If it helps save one life it will be worth stringent care, health and safety being adhered too. Justice will prevail.

Infection from IV at ER to blood vessels causing severe pain and required a return visit to ER per hospital’s request. Hospital is claiming they are not responsible. They know and I know that they are the cause and reason for the infection. Still having some problems after several weeks. Need your advice.

My mother passed away on November 14, 2014 after having endured treatment for MRSA for two years. She had two PICC lines that were used to administer vancomycin and the majority of her diabetes-related amputations were at one hospital. This same hospital sent her home when she arrived by ambulance even though they were fully aware of her prior medical history. She passed away two weeks later at a different hospital. They confirmed that the MRSA had spread to her brain, heart and spine.
