I am in the medical field and can relate an anecdote, I'm sure which happens regularly across the US. Patient visiting from India comes in with sepsis from urinary tract infection, and she has a history of multiple ones. ER doctor calls me to admit her. I come down and review her paper chart that the family brought with her and see where her last E coli UTI was resistant to everything except meropenem, and possibly gentamicin although I don't recall. Until I had looked over this, the patient wasn't in any contact precautions (meaning disposable gloves or gowns for staff) and the ER doctor had given her the usual treatment for a UTI which in her case was going to do nothing.
