Moar pics

 

Workers comp. Lol.

I woke up to a pimple on my neck today after reading this last night, and I almost **** myself thinking I had this. Lol

 

where do you work?

are you at kaiser vacaville?

 

So....has Ballz chimed in here yet?

 

Oh man, hope you have a full recovery!
And to how you not get it;

We must all get bubble suits

 

Working at the hospital, I'm pretty sure I have MRSA already. 99% of the people in healthcare have it I'm sure. Sucks bro, hang in there. Better than having C-diff(and no that not control differential lol)

 

ISWYDT.

Welcome back!

Skeptical about this, but okay...

FACT: We are all covered in staphylococcus aureus. It's part of the natural microbiotia of our skin (just like how our asses are filled with e. coli); it's when the population becomes greater than normal and can't be controlled by antibiotics like methicillin that it becomes a problem.

 

MRSA's a *****, I've somehow avoided it over the past 11 years... (damn I feel old now)

 

heres a pic of the doc cutting the dead flesh/infection out. nothing to kill the pain,just a beardown and go with it. i was lifting the hostpital bed off the ground with one arm lol.

 

Hold on, HOLD ON A SEC, how did no one see this ****. MSRA of the pee pee strong do no want.

 

wait why cant they give you pain killers?

 

So a couple of years ago I decided I was going to try and shave my pits (no homo) because I was running a lot. Big mistake because all it did was cause chafing and then gave me two big blisters in my pits. When they popped, they got infected and I had a staph infection. Luckily it wasnt MRSA.

They gave me a lot of Vicodin so Im surprised they didnt give you any cool meds.

 

Because it was "just" a selective sharp debridement (i.e. a minor procedure "unworthy" of anesthetics).
