Correct me - MRSA

mer sa

I've never heard anybody around here say M R S A

At the hospital I work at, everyone pronounces it as "Mer-sa". No one ever says it by its initials.

M-R-S-A or Mersa

I only ever hear it called by initials "M-R-S-A".

I've never heard anyone actually pronounce it out as a word.

Interesting though, if I had ever heard anyone say it as "Mersa" I'd be like "HUH?!?!" lol

I have fun reading about this one, that is why I posted it!

Its just that the media has been all over MRSA in our area due to the increase in highschool students that have been testing postive.

I cringe every time I listen to a report.

It is MRSA for me.

I agree. I just started a post about this on the general forum. I think Mer-sa sounds weird. I've always heard MRSA when getting report, never have I heard Mer-sa until our school started telling us about it. I told the principal if people tried to google Mer-sa they wouldn't find anything! Luckily some papers came home about it.
