the researchers conclusions are appropriate. Discussion Because the request was extremely specific: the article had to be health-related, come from a newspaper, and be less than two months old, choices
were limited. (This is always the case when the time constraints are so tight). The article under discussion just appeared but its not particularly detailed. However, analysis of its content
will provide a springboard to others on the subject. The main article is entitled "Deadly bacteria spreading fast," and although the database pulled it from the Grand Rapids Press, it
first appeared in The New York Times; the author is Kevin Sack. The Grand Rapids paper obviously took the feed from the Times and ran it in their "Nation/World" section.
Sack begins by observing that in 2005, almost 19,000 people in the United States died "after being infected with virulent drug-resistant bacteria that have spread rampantly through hospitals and nursing
homes" (Sack, 2007, p. A3). The study that Sack quotes is described as being "the most thorough study of the diseases prevalence ever conducted" (Sack, 2007, p. A3). The
original study was published October 17, 2007, in The Journal of the American Medical Association; the lead author of the article is Dr. R. Monina Klevens. Klevens suggests that staph
infections "may be twice as common as previously thought" (Sack, 2007, p. A3). If the death estimates are correct, Klevens believes that "the number of deaths associated with the germ,
methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, or MRSA, would exceed those attributed to HIV-AIDS, Parkinsons disease, emphysema or homicide each year" (Sack, 2007, p. A3). The disease can be deadly: "On Monday, a
Virginia teenager died after a weeklong hospitalization for an MRSA infection that spread quickly to his kidneys, liver, lungs and the muscle around his heart" (Sack, 2007, p. A3). It
