- W2346607289 abstract "“I see resistant staph all the time,” says nurse practitioner Maggie G. Her enormous blue eyes convey both the compassion and the weariness of someone who has seen it all. Over the course of 25 years, the Western Massachusetts nurse has treated farmers, hill-town hippies, and teens seeking treatment for STDs and fevers, as well as men, women, and children who walk for miles and wait patiently with festering wounds and suppurating tumors in the Sierra Leone clinic that she visits once a year. One constant throughout all of Maggie’s experiences is methicillin-resistant staph, or MRSA. Back in the late eighties, when Maggie was just finishing nursing school, MRSA was rare. But over the years she has witnessed the rise of this drug-resistant bug, tending to countless cases—one of the most memorable involved a young camp counselor whose infected toe turned into a life-threatening hole in her heart. When we spoke, Maggie was working with recovering addicts at a psych hospital. MRSA spreads so easily in needle-using addict populations through needle sharing or festering open wounds that Maggie says addicts are often treated “presumptively”—meaning the staff doesn’t always test but assumes drug resistance. It’s a reasonable assumption. In some places, nearly 50 percent of the needle-using population may be positive for community-acquired MRSA." @default.
