It would be my local hospital affected by this

We seem to be having a few problems with bugs since outsourcing the cleaning services.

It's odd that the bacteria has been brought in from Pakistan and India and yet scientists fear it will go global. Kinda sounds like it already has.

Also antibiotics are able to be purchased over the counter without prescription in those countries. Add to the problem the fact that many patients there are not following the whole course, therefore providing the bacteria time to adapt and evolve.

BP Oil disaster is just about dried out in the news. Good time for this to pop up. Gives the talking heads on the tube something to gab about for the next few weeks.

Oh, so they're going to use this to sell new drugs (which will be discovered soon) instead of bird-flu? How many people were prosecuted because of the bird-flu scandal?

"In about a dozen cases, I have used a chemical - furadantin - to treat my patients. And it has worked. It makes them horribly nauseous, but it works," he says.

It says in the article it has been treated. Doesn't sound like a pleasant treatment though.
