so,last week at work i came in contact with MRSA. somehow,by either a insect bite or a pulled hair-i got a infection. 24 hours later,im in the ER. today i follow up with OCC health at kaiser. end result-nickle sized piece of flesh cut out of my hand. because of the high chance the infection could spread no local could be given. i really hate MRSA.
pics to come

 

dude... you ok?

that stuff scares me. no real way to fight it.

no need for pixs man...

 

Gimmie a second while I Google MRSA.

 

1600mg of bactrim 3x daily. and a ****ton of yogurt. im doing ok,hurts like total hell.

 

damn that sucks! hope you're ok dude.looks pretty gnarly

 

EEWWWWWWWW. Sorry to hear you cought that. Hope they take care of that for ya. Is it going to pay for what little treatment they can do for you?

 

did they at least hook you up with some good pain killers?

 

I don't how bad your pics are, but a mod may want to put a warning on the thread title if they're as bad as those in google images.....

Hope you beat it asap!

 

man working in EMS were in contact with MRSA patients all the time, its scary.

 

Pics or shens

 

man that sucks..

 

on top of nothing when they cut it out,nothing after the fact. occ health docs suck.
working on pics.

 

i had to too

 

heres the first outbreak on my neck. ouch.24 hours after infection. the other pics are usesless because the skin fell off and turned black.

my phone wont upload my hand pics.

 

i got super lucky. i went in today thinking the doctor was sending me back to work,instead 15 min later im having a chunk cut out of my finger and im talking with a lady from CDC.
