I'm sure those of you in the US have heard of the fungal meningitis that people have gotten becasue of back injections for pain. My sister is one who got that medicine. A couple of days after the injection she had chills and bad headache. of course that could occur with other things. So she was notified by the hospital yesterday . Today they had quite a few people come in and had a large dedicated crew, doctors, lab staff, nurses, xray that did cat scan of brain, lots of lab work, EKG and spinal tap on everyone. Initially the spinal fluid looks clear and the culture of course will take a couple of days to grow. The hospital is of course picking up the tab for all of this. They are going to be out a big chunk of change. And if one of them comes out positive then it will be a really big chunk of change. For now my sister is relieved that the spinal fluid is OK. I don't think she realizes that she isn't out of the woods yet. I guess ignorance is bliss
