Medicine takes an amazing step so what do we discuss?

Lunaville: It would scare the hooey out of me if I were in any sort of supervisory position in a hospital that had 12 babies infected with MRSA. Great, innovative work demonstrated though. I do hope it spreads and benefits many others.

Maybe not the best choice of words there...

BronyMedic: Bontesla: How many times has prayer been solely responsible for something similar?

Really? Do I have to be that guy?

I think he was comparing prayer to an insidious infection that sweeps through a closed population killing all that stand it its way.

Which sounds about right.

Foolish libtards.

MRSA is a judgement from the Almighty. You think your socialism and science can thwart God's will?

All the epidemiologists, entomologists, and herpetologists in the world cannot stop God from afflicting sinners with plagues, locusts, and swarms of venomous serpents.

He will intelligently design another virus or strain of drug-resistant bacteria to smite the wicked. Just you wait and see.

AverageAmericanGuy: A little ammonia and peroxide will fix that kind of thing right up.

Not together. Ammonia for surfaces. Peroxide for wounds.

Yeesh. Not getting a timeout for suggesting dangerous things again.
