If I ever get sick, please let me be sick at home!
So, my friends' mom is still in ICU, and now, thanks to her confinement in such a place, and having been intubated for so long, she has now contracted an ICU-related bacteria, that can prove life threatening should she become infected. Right now, she is classified as colonized, but has not been classified as infected. Basically, she is a freakin host for somthing that may end up killing her, and to top it off...she gets this because of the treatments she has been given to keep her alive while she battles pneumonia. How fucking unfair is this? I read some of the literature, and it is scary. It is antibiotic resistant, and even drugs that it does react to....can become ineffective as this bacteria has shown itself to become resistant to the very drug used to treat it.
