MRSA

I watched the MRSA episode this afternoon, and not five minutes after it was over, I got a call from my son's ENT. He has had a draining ear infection since August, and cultures were taken last week. Today, I found out it is MRSA. I'm terrified! From what I've read, it's not nearly as bad as the skin infection, but I have to worry about my other child, and my husband and I as well.

04/01 The Superbug

Quote From: jewelsf

Every time someone gets a cold or the flu they see a doctor and expect antibiotics. Don't we all know by now that antibiotics do not cure virus's? But if the doctor refuses the patient thinks the doctor isn't doing anything for them. Instead of drugs they need education about the difference's between bacteria and a virus. Yes, we did do this to ourselves, not me exactly because I have known this for years and only take antibiotics when truly needed, so we have only ourselves to blame. Wash hands!!!!!!!!!!! with soap!!!!!!!!!!!
Most people don't realize the difference between viruses and bacteria. Even Dr. Phil called MRSA a virus more than once. A couple of generations of Americans have grown up with the belief that antibiotics are the cure for everything.
