It would be impossible to care for a baby without arms or hands. Our daughter has two little ones and they keep her running.
Well, we disagree on that. I think it’s irrelevant to her plight, and I don’t think his little joke means he is sadistic. I would need more evidence to make that statement.
Do you think it is funny that anyone, a new mom no less, just lost 4 limbs and internal organs? Would you make a joke about that?
I know someone that had a form of this...before I knew her. She very recently detailed what she went through. I get that it’s a horrible disease, but silly jokes on an online forum don’t impact the woman’s situation. I’m just very careful about wishing harm on people unless they have truly done something evil. I don’t believe it’s healthy. A Kim Jong-on...yes, I hope he meets a bad end.
Ok, I admit it. Your Cheerios. It was me.

You mean like what the OP did to this poor mother, right? He didn't "wish" it, he just laughed about it after her limbs and innards were removed, so that's much better. It isn't healthy at all.
Your punch bowl. And you liked it.

Unfortunately, incompetence is not limited to socialized medicine, although it might be more frequent in that system, along with simply not giving a damn. There is a reason that doctors’ mistakes kill around 100,000 people in the USA per year.
Single payer, “Send ‘em home with a pill”.
This is not funny. This is a fast and lethal condition. I should know. I spent 4 months in the hospital and rehab over the summer with this. I was Heaven blessed to not lose a limb or my life. I will carry a massive scar and a pronounced limp for the remainder of my days. I am still fighting back daily from the fatigue that remains. I have no funny quips to add, only prayers sent for this poor woman.
It IS a horrible disease. Had it. Survived it, limbs intact. Have the scars and Tshirt to prove it.
Mersa, Staff, Legionaires, Norovirus, are in any American hospital.
Cleaning practices are dismal, 1 of the worst places to pick up a bug or virus is your doctor’s office. NEVER touch their sneezed/coughed on magazines. No one hands out cough mask to a patient who comes in the door doing so. Snot nosed kids touching every thing is another way it spreads. Don’t get me wrong I love kids, raised 3, every school year I’d send healthy kids to school, with in 2 weeks, mumps, measles, flu, GI stuff and Lice were coming home.
Schools are another germ/bacteria factory. As is Church, malls, any where there are large groups of people. Never touch those hand rails on escalators they are full of crap to make you sick.
The Japanese, Koreans and Chinese have long known about a bacterial probiotic that acts as a prophylaxis against Clostridium difficile and maybe many other drug resistant bacterial diseases.
The antibiotics Clindamycin (for example, Cleocin), Fluoroquinolones (for example ciprofloxacin (Cipro), Penicillins, and Cephalosporins, can often leave a person vulnerable to drug resistant bacteria, because they wipe out so much of your healthy bacterial flora.
But in the 1960s, the Japanese discovered Clostridium butyricum, a non-harmful bacteria that blocks difficile and likely several other such bacteria in your intestines. It is made in Japan and sold as “Miyarisan”. It is standard practice in their hospitals to give patients a regimen of it prior to surgery, if possible.
It is sold on Amazon, but is cheaper on Ebay. And it does take about 3 weeks to ship.
Definitely good to have a bottle of it in your medicine chest. Because C. diff will make you sick for a month, and has been described as “cholera’s younger brother.”
According to the CDC, about 300,000 Americans got C. diff a couple of years ago. “Approximately 29,000 patients died within 30 days of the initial diagnosis of C. difficile. Of those, about 15,000 deaths were estimated to be directly attributable to C. difficile infections.”
