Bibles May Not Be Healthy

Do bibles spread the superbug MRSA?

Hospitals in Leicester, UK, are concerned that bibles may be exacerbating the spread of MRSA among hospital patients. Rather than having a bible in a locker next to every bed, health officials are considering storing them.

Healthy Not Bibles

This is the only place the article really talks about the health risk. The main issue being taken here is that hospital patients could be offended which I think is ridiculous. To me it looks like some people are using the MRSA argument to have a reason to move the bibles.

Bibles May Not Be Healthy Health & Special Psychology

This is spot on Konquererz, to what I believe!

As the article is from England, and the government is determined to rid the country one way or another of all biblical teachings within schools, and on the streets, I would say that this is just another of their ploys.

If you had been in a British hospital, you would know why the MRSA superbug is so prevalent, and in my opinion, has nothing to do with having Bibles!

Last time that I was in a hospital, I was in for a week, and there was dried blood already there under the bed, and although the ward was swept and mopped, nobody came near to cleaning under the bed, even though it was requested.

My Husband contracted a kidney and urine infection last time he was in hospital, as he had to use a urine bottle, that clearly wasn't as clean as it should have been.

There are many, many stories of people who go into hospital here, with one thing, and end up being treated for another illness too!

The dirty laundry that I have seen lying around with urine and blood on, doesn't help in my opinion either, so I think when you take all things into account, the bible seems to be being used as an excuse!

Healthy Not Bibles

I have to agree with the above posters and add that I don't actually recall having seen a bible in the last hospital room I was in to begin with. I remember there being a bed-pan type thing in the drawer and a small vase-type thing for flowers, but no bible. I brought mine and my BOM, but no. No bible. Also, the last time I was in a non-emergency room, I was lying on my side and could see blood on the floor in three different places. I remember that because it was so significant to me that I thought about what other things I could be catching in a not-clean room. That's an excuse in my opinion as well.
