Link: Our Mum Had Mrsa So Why Doesnt Her Death Certificate Say So (from Worcester News).
THE heartbroken children of a "glamorous granny" have accused health chiefs of a whitewash because they did not record that she had MRSA when she died.
But hospital bosses say they took the correct decision and are only required to record blood infections of MRSA.
Sybil Gwilliam, of Malvern, was told by a nurse she had the superbug on her body shortly before she died at Worcestershire Royal Hospital on Sunday, January 6.
The 79-year-old great grandmother’s death certificate records that she died of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), but her family say she was kept in isolation because doctors found traces of MRSA inside her nose.
Her son Andy Mapp and daughter Lynette Warner were furious when they learnt that the Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS did not record that she had MRSA when they published their December figures.
