Board of Health,

Dear Members of Board of Health, good morning.Please be advised that proper medical care is important. MRSA (my elderly mother contracted it IN THE HOSPITAL), is attributed to CARELESS MEDICAL PRACTICE. I have seen signs in a major hospital in the area, "HAVE YOU ASKED YOUR MEDICAL PROVIDERS IF THEY WASHED THEIR HANDS"" It is an outrage that medical providers need to learn or be reminded to "WASH THEIR HANDS"!IT IS ALSO OUTRAGEOUS THAT HUNDREDS OF VIOLATIONS HAVE BEEN REPORTED CONCERNING ABORTION CLINICS IN OUR STATE OF VIRGINIA. IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY, NOT TO MAKE PHILOSOPHICAL DECISIONS OR ARRIVE AT "LOGICAL" CONCLUSIONS, BUT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE STATE MEDICAL REGULATIONS ARE RESPECTED AND HONORED. IT COULD BE YOUR DAUGHTER, AUNT, OR MOTHER THAT GOES TO SUCH A CLINIC!Thanks for your thoughtful consideration. Please, remember that you are required to uphold the Law and protect patients health and proper care. I KNOW: MY MOTHER WAS A VICTIM OF SUCH CARELESSNESS.Very truly yours, Miguel Dabul
