Sandra McKee - Campaign steps up to bat to stop staph infections


Boston Red Sox manager Terry Francona went to the hospital for routine arthroscopy on both knees in 2002. But the aftermath of his surgery was anything but routine. After being out of the hospital for two weeks, his body was attacked by a staph infection that nearly cost him both legs and his life.

"It overwhelmed me," said Francona, who spoke yesterday at the Strike Out Infection program, part of a national campaign spearheaded by Francona and Covidien Ltd., a health-care product company, at the Baltimore Convention Center. "I was in intensive care for seven weeks. I just laid there in pain. I'm the perfect person to talk about this because I didn't know what I had and I didn't know what questions to ask. I didn't know there were questions I should ask. I didn't know how to describe the pain, and that caused more problems."

Francona's goal, and that of every speaker on yesterday's program, is to spread awareness and increase knowledge of how to prevent the infection. The campaign's Web site, www.strikeoutinfection.com, explains in easily understandable language what a staph infection is, ways to prevent it and what questions a patient should be asking.
