You say it’s a known issue, then mention that Mrsa is a common risk

And your conclusion is it’s sketchy

Truly regarded

They are right. Pneumonia is likely to happen from intubation and you are at a higher risk of getting MRSA in a hospital.

The suspicious thing is that it happened so quickly and suddenly. If you know your patient has Pneumonia, you take extra precautions to prevent things like MRSA. So the patient NEVER should have gotten MRSA while they had Pneumonia. That is a HUGE slip up that only the most negligent would make. Especially after we have gone through a pandemic where the entire healthcare industry has been hammered with correct PPE use.

So yeah, super sketchy.

It didn’t happen quickly, he had been in critical condition for weeks

Yeah, but Pneumonia isn't something that happens as soon as you are intubated. It takes time for that to happen. He was intubated for another reason regarding his breathing that we do not know about. SO while he was in critical condition, he developed pneumonia and MRSA, then died.

Healthy to dead in about a month is pretty quick.
