Superbug left victim ‘physically and mentally scarred’

MRSA victim Tony Kavanagh yesterday recounted how the lethal hospital superbug nearly killed him and left him physically and mentally scarred.

"I started walking around the house, without the aid of a stick, about three weeks ago. My career, as I see it, is over. There is no way I would be able to stand on my feet for eight hours doing my job," he said.

In September 2004, Tony had an operation in a Dublin hospital to improve blood circulation in his legs. The surgery was a 100% success.
