ASK THE NURSE

 

Nurse Anthea answers your questions. This week’s topic is bacteria.

 

Question - “I’m worried about my baby. She is crawling around on the floor and putting all sorts of things into her mouth.”

Nurse Anthea - Don’t worry. Children who live in spotlessly clean houses do not have much exposure to bacteria, so their immune systems don’t get the practice of fighting bacteria. Research shows that children living in houses that are not spotlessly clean, who have contact with animals and faecal matter, get fewer illnesses than children living in spotless homes.And there’s evidence that children who live with pets get fewer allergies.

Question - Is there a cure for MRSA (methicillinresistant Staphylococcus aureus)?

Nurse Anthea - There’s an antibiotic called Vancomycin. This is our last weapon against MRSA, but in time it will be useless too. One type of Staphylococcus aureus is now resistant to Vancomycin – so it is VRSA- Vancomycin resistant. There is a possibility of a bacterium which will be resistant to all antibiotics.

We have been winning the war against bacteria for about fifty years, but soon bacteria will make a comeback and we will be where we were in the nineteenth century – with no protection from bacteria.

Well, this wasn’t a big cultural faux pas, but it was interesting. I had to go to Australia last year. I was travelling around a lot – I had lots of meetings – so I often took taxis. I give generous tips when I travel – after all, they’re all expenses – but I realized that nearly all the taxi drivers seemed offended by me. You see, in Australia it’s always best to sit in the front seat of a taxi. You know, actually next to the driver. If you sit in the back, they think you are being superior – that you think you are better than them.

Loch Ness is a lake (or 'loch' in Scottish Gaelic) located in the Highlands of Scotland, near Inverness. People say there is a monster in it, which is called Nessie.

 

In 1933, George Spicer described that he saw Nessie and it was a “dragon”. It was 4 feet high, 25 feet long and had a long neck.

 

In 1934, Robert Kenneth Williams took the first photo of the Loch Ness Monster's neck and head. This photo was published in the Daily Mail newspaper in April 1934. Around 1994, the photo was declared to be a hoax.

 

In 1934, Edward Mountain sent an expedition to Loch Ness from 9 am to 6 pm every day, for 5 weeks. They never found any evidence of the Monster.

 

In 2003, the BBC TV network made a show that did a detailed search of Loch Ness. They found nothing and concluded that the Monster was a myth.

It is FALSE to say that

There's nowhere like Scotland. Scotland is a country in a country. It is part of Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales), and of the United Kingdom (England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland).

 

Scotland is in the far northwest of Europe, between the Atlantic Ocean and the North Sea. It is often cold and grey, and it often rains a lot. But the people of Scotland love their country, and many visitors to Scotland love it too. They love the beautiful hilis and mountains of the north, the sea and the eight hundred islands, and the six cities: Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen, Dundee, Inverness and Stirling. The country is special, and Scottish people are special too: often warm and friendly.

 

There are about five million people in Scotland. Most Scots live in the south, in or near the big cities of Edinburgh and Glasgow. Most of the north of the country is very empty; not many people live there.

 

A Scottish person is also called a Scot, but you cannot talk about a Scotch person: Scotch means whisky, a drink made in Scotland. Scottish people are British, because Scotland is part of Great Britain, but you must not cal! Scottish people English! The Scots and the English are diterent.

 

These days everyone in Scotland speaks English. But, at one time, people in the north and west of Scotland did not speak English. They had a different language, a beautiful language called Gaelic. About 60,000 people, 1% of the people in Scotland, speak Gaelic now. But many more want Gaelic in their lives because it is part of the story of Scotland.
