RedScrubs Weekly Wrap-up: 1-30-2009
The blogosphere has certainly been an enlightening place to be this week. I especially enjoyed the blog on MRSA in US Swine and the potential “cover-up” in the zoonotic arena. I didn’t hear myself say that, however.
More and more research is being done in zoonotics with a recent research study showing MRSA cropping up in a variety of our meat products. This is scary stuff. But, I don’t hear much about it on the news . . . funny how that stuff gets swept under the carpets of the news brigade; and, it’s not just piggy MRSA, it is MRSA from all animals showing up in a variety of products from all meat sources. Anyway, moving on, I hope you’ve enjoyed our top medical story and video picks for the week. Now for the best of the best . . .
