I will always remember the warning of conscientious doctor friend possibly twenty or so years ago, who likened antibiotics to weed killers, who predicted that natural resistance to the latter will only create bigger and more dangerous diseases. The analogy of Frankenstein, the man made monster, that turned on his master, was a useful metaphor. Older medics will well remember these warnings that did the rounds, but like so many other narcissistic individuals and groups, their memories are short and selective. Blaming the cleaners in hospitals for the spread of illness in this light can be viewed as particularlly churlish and cynical. Greg Hi John, Didnt know you had an interest in this!
