Hendrick Hospital in Abilene, Texas has had several cases of Staff Infection. I've known of 2 personally and one of them has died. Shouldn't this hospital have to report to someone that they have a problem with Staff Infections? Doesn't the public have the right to know?

OK - Staph Infection

Oh, yes. The state dept of health likes to be informed of this kind of thing.
Chances are the hospital has a doctor whose job is to monitor something like this and take care of the paperwork and other stuff.

Sorry, but the idea of a Staff infection made me laugh. You mean Staph infection. All communicable diseases must be reported to the Health Dept. but not to you the public.

yes, i would think that they should have to let the public know. possibly the american medical association where you live could help you out with this. hope this helps. good luck.
