Heart Hi Joanmarie!

Hi Joanmarie!
Holy smokes! They lost 3 people! 3! That is unheard of! Where on earth are they doing this?

I have had sooooo many incision sites, but haven't been afraid before, but this scares the heck out of me!

Do they forget to wash their hands @ the hospital? WTH? I have never heard of that b/4!

If you really need to get the plasma exchange, maybe you can go somewhere with a better rate.....that hosp sounds like it should be on 60 minutes or something..........

How are YOU feeling today? Are you feeling better?

Big hugs!
ERin

Plasma Exchange did NOT kill the patients, it was the staph infection that did it. I am thinking of trying for it anyway.
