Infection From Bibles
Very interested in this story BBC: - MRSA Infection From Holy Scripture?
I can see a few sides to this argument:
Having a Bible at the bedside is a source of comfort to some patients.
It is nice to have something to read to take your mind off the monotony of the ward.
Is there any evidence that someone has caught an MRSA infection from the Bible?
However,
The majority of patients do not read the Bible during their stay in hospital.
Patients who want a Bible could bring their own, or request one from a Chaplain.
Bibles do not have wipe-clean covers and are not magically protected against becoming media for life-threatening infections.
If you were a patient with a compromised immune system, would you be happy to risk touching a Bible that had previously been used by an MRSA-infected patient?
Here is my suggestion to the Gideons
invest in electronic 'talking' bibles that can be easily wiped clean, and would be far more accessible to bed-ridden patients who struggle with small print and thin pages.
Or even
spend the money on providing some hospitals, doctors and nurses in 3rd world countries
