A Recipe for a Medical Disaster
ثبت نشده
چکیده
One of the best ways to accomplish that goal would appear to be to find a way to easily spread antibioticresistant bacteria, aka "superbugs", and to do it in such a way as to keep the project under the radar of medical regulatory agencies such as the CDC and the FDA. Because some of the most difficult-to-treat antibioticresistant bacteria are found in the intestines of patients, an obvious means for accomplishing this would be to fabricate one of the most invasive medical devices ever made to allow a clinician to peer at least part way down into a patient's small intestine, and take biopsy samples from there, if desired. And it should be designed so that it is not only extremely difficult to clean, but virtually impossible to reliably sterilize. Ironically this description fits the endoscopes currently used for the invasive procedure known as endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). ERCP allows a clinician to examine the bile ducts, pancreatic duct, and gallbladder of a patient.
