Many people in the community carry MRSA, and it is easily transferred in hospitals. With the high rate of carriage and transmission, it is inevitable that MRSA will enter hospitals.
No MRSA is contagious and they close hospitals down for it :)
It is USUALLY spread in hospitals because healthcare professionals are not washing their hands or stethoscopes between patients. However keep in mind that MRSA is a naturally occurring bacteria and can be found in many environments.
Yes. MRSA is present everywhere. I continually care for patients who are in isolation precautions due to infection with MRSA - therefore an outbreak has not occurred however individual patients are fighting the infection.
Hospitals get money from the patients, they get donation.
Co-trimoxazole is a combination of trimethoprim and sulfamethoxazole, a sulfa drug. It is usually useful for the MRSA that is contracted outside of hospitals.
Reasonably high, which is why you want to get out of the hospital as soon as you safely and comfortably can. Surgical patients are far more susceptible than Medical patients. Bear in mind that MRSA is treatable -- it just requires different planning and treatment. Exact statistics on this are hard to come by, but I've heard as many as 30% (which I think is WAY high and very unlikely) may experience post-surgical MRSA. Don't worry -- it's treatable.
Yes there are several hospitals that offer support groups for patients with bipolar disorder.

The vast majority of patients with MRSA have simple, easily curable, non-lethal skin infections.
Most places where patients are cared are called clinics or hospitals.
super-bugs its a infection that causes a MRSA and its usaully happen in Hospitals, because when the patients in hospital is ill the bacteria can get through the drips and easilly cause super-bug and can kill the patient. It happen one third of us.
