sars and other infectious diseases i think sars was a wakeup call evaluating what weve got whats been done and what we have to do different ly if people think this was a blip on the radar screen and now were over it i think that would be a very big mistake but at york central hospital closed for 20 days due to an internal outbreak of sars some doctors are cautioning theres no need to over-react- dr hy dwosh clinical director of the intensive care unit wrote an article this month in the canadian medical association journal with three other physicians detailing the sars experi ence at york central he was also part of a team of doctors who wrote an article for the journal of the american medical association outlining the outbreak at hospitals in the greater toronto area while he agrees proper infectious disease controls are an important part of any hospitals operations dr dwosh believes theres no reason to make radi cal alterations ninety per cent of infection control is hand washing that doesnt mean rinsing finger tips through the water it means at least 30 seconds of proper lathering dr dwosh would also like to have negative airpressure rooms at york central and a better system to track patients between hospitals he also agreed using masks gowns and gloves if someone is known to have ah infectious respiratory disease helps prevent the spread of the illness mr carriere doesnt believe imple menting stringent controls is overreact ing comparing the situation hospitals face because of sars to the aftermath of terrorist attacks on sept 112001 where do you draw the line on 911 is there ever going back to pre911 days no wereliving in a new world he said- v in health care were living with a new awakening we really have to err on the side of safety not to do so is expos- ing our staff and patients and commu nity to risk that is avoidable markham stouffville hospital presi dent dr jim maclean agreed hospitals need to assume anyone coming to their emergency rooms may be carrying an infectious disease i think weve learned a lot from the sars outbreak and we will need to make changes to some of our policies and even to our physical plants said dr maclean who argued the outbreak proved how thinly hospitals and med ical staff are stretched obviously we were not prepared for a major outbreak we dont have the physical resources supplies and even staffing meanwhile dr dwosh accused pub lic health authorities of overreacting during the sars outbreak fight the bite wear light colours long sleeves and long pants use bug repellent containing deet and read
