I agree totally with C. no jokes this time. I'm serious why doesn't the
Podliatrist not want to speak to you.? I don't care how many papers
he wrote on this subject.

Also no call from Neuro..Has he ever seen a wound Dr. about his foot?
Bob ended up battling a horribal and awful situation when a Pod. screwed
up a surgery on the bottom of his foot. It ended up taking almost
6 months and grafting to fix that mess.They even tested him for cancer.

I would do nothing until i got that Neuro on the phone. You do not
aways show symptomes of MRSA. Many people are carriers and have no
promblem with it, while other people get infections from it. Once you have
it,you may carry it for several weeks to months.I had Mrsa Last year
didn't have a clue People at risk,tend to be older,be in the hospital
frequently or for long periods of time,receive many antibiotics and have
skin that is not intact. Healthy people are usually not at risk of getting
the germ.

Special precautions called contact precautions reguired to prevent the
spread of Mrsa. Drs. and Nurses must be especially careful not to spread
MRSA from patient to patient on their hands or equipment..It can happen
at home that nurse messed up. Before anything more like surgery is
done i would have a infecious disease Dr. take a culture of his sore.

A Dr. who will poo poo this idea would worry me,also one who said don't
have your wife call me. You have to report MRSA years later to Dr. and
hospital's. I just had it again at this hospital visit,and it's been a year
between hospital visits. 2 different hospitals,This last hospital used rubber
gloves but didn't wash hands the way i thought they should.I came home
do my own wound care,with gloves,everyone has own soap and big bottle
germ x. Also they will put me in private room and back to hot gowns,ect.
when i go back to hospital in day or 2. I checked with the sw and there
me a one of there laptops. Good luck Mel and bless your Alan Sue
I'll do a no Mrsa for anyone chant. And heal all boo boo's
