Cystic fibrosis patient feared MRSA
Joanne McPadden (22) was placed in a bed beside caustic glue, dry cement and other chemical substances while she was examined by a doctor at St Vincent’s Hospital, in Dublin, on Wednesday.
She said she was “petrified” because her illness carries an increased risk of MRSA and other infections. In addition, airborne particles from the cement and the other chemicals in the room, meanwhile, have the potential to trigger increased breathing difficulties.
