源自古冰河物種原始的渴望
類恐龍神精系統
爆發異種的跳躍
呼朋引伴地開腸破肚後
竟不稱職地血流成河
然後
我聽見
黑色地下組織與細胞壁的對話：
“To Destroy．”
5/7/2003
===================================
Conversation with SARS---by universe
we have millions of us, swarms and swarms of us.
try and battle against us.
yes, we are sars, yes, we are elusive,
with deadly powerful, scary life span,
oh, poor WORLD.
yes, you can call us sphinx,
with joy,with black blood pour,
pour with hatred and joy.
oh yeah, did we mention LOVE?
yes, LOVE,as only our blood can LOVE,
human has forgotten there can be such LOVE,
that burns and DESTROYS.
come to our side, from the calling of horrors,
come to our welcome arms,
before it is too late, drop you defense,
let us be united as one.
and if not, we have nothing to lose,
we too, can be perfidious if we choose,
and down all time you will be cursed,
by the sick humanity of greed and war.
before the dense asia,
onto the thickest and forests we will disperse,
and we shall turn upon you,
our ugly sickening face.
but we ourselves henceforth shall be no shield of yours,
we ourseleves henceforth will enter no battle,
we shall look on with our narrow eyes,
when your deadly battles rage among yourself.
nor shall we stir when the ferocious call,
whips down thousand of dead,
burns down cities, drives herds into hell,
and roasts the flesh of the new born dead.

Subject: Infection Control Video
Hi S. -
Yesterday and today have been crisis city, so I am only just getting to
this!
Infection Control came to be an integral part of hospitals in the 1950's
when there were some hospital outbreaks of Staphylococcus aureus. Infections which are acquired in the period of time that a person is hospitalized are called "nosocomial" infections, and a major focus of Infection Control professionals is to minimize nosocomial infections. As more and more invasive technology becomes routine in medical care (chest tubes, central venous catheters, even organ transplants, etc.) there is increasing opportunity for infection.
In the 1980s, with the discovery that HIV/AIDS is a bloodborne pathogen,
major changes came about in the way we deliver health care. Throughout thenation it became a standard of practice (and the law) to use personal
protective equipment. In addition, equipment changes, such as safety
needles, and procedural changes like managing infectious waste, and annual "Bloodborne Pathogen" training for all health care workers. "Universal Precautions" policies were created in virtually every hospital, mandating that all patients, at all times, be treated as though they were infected with a bloodborne pathogen. Gloves, face shields, and gowns were to be available to all health care workers, and worn when there was any probability of being exposed to blood or body fluids. Policies and guidelines were created to address the protection of patients and staff from organisms transmitted by air, contact, and blood or body fluids.
Infection Control departments not only helped in teaching and enforcing safe practices, increasingly, Infection Control practitioners (ICPs) became epidemiologists, tracking and determining the causes of nosocomial
transmission of pathogens in hospitals. Infection Control is involved with every department and service of the hospital, assisting with policy writing, education, consultation, and enforcement of infection control policy.
Hand hygiene is the most important intervention for interrupting the spread of disease. Unfortunately, in spite of over 150 years of evidence, many health care workers do not wash their hands between patient contacts. Because handwashing is both time consuming and often inconvenient, antimicrobial hand cleaners are now used in most European, and manyAmerican, hospitals.
Intake areas of hospitals and clinics are likely to be the first to see the patient with a communicable disease. Thus, they should all have policies which require patients to put on a mask if arriving with a cough, or rash and fever. When there is suspicion of TB, or SARS, or other airborne illness, the patient should be removed from the waiting and placed in an isolation room.
Well, there's a start...I have had at least fourteen interruptions, but I
thought I should get back to you, so I'll send it! The rest of this week is really, really packed.
Talk with you soon!
