Guest guest Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 Does anyone know about the MRSA? My mother(71)had a very traumatic experience in the hospital ... so bad she refuses to ever be admitted again for ANY reason. On top of this, she was pretty ill with some virus or something while there recovering from surgery. They said she got it from the antibiotics she was being given, but they never did tell me what the virus was. They gave her meds for it which she was to take for 10 days, which she did. She was re-tested by her family doctor ... test came back fine. She still has diarrhea, which seems to be getting worse. Heard about the MRSA outbreak on news last night which closed down wings in a hospital (not in my community). I know for a fact that a couple wings were closed down (reason unknown) at our local, & only, hospital where my mom was admitted, but it never made the news & a nurse told us they aren't admitting anyone for a while. I don't want to get paranoid, but I have to wonder if there's a connection. Thanks. Linda C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
