‘I was more worried about MRSA than his operation’

A WOMAN whose partner underwent major surgery last month said she was more worried about him contracting MRSA than the eight-hour operation.

And her worst fears were realised when a senior nurse at the Cork hospital confirmed that he had contracted the super bug.

The woman, who does not want to be identified, said her husband was admitted to the Mercy University Hospital just days after the first-ever National Hospital Hygiene Audit was published.
