There you go. Keep that 3rd world crap out of the civilized areas.
Superbug bacterium with medication resistance causes a fatality (Sepsis)
Only known medication not yet approved in the U.S.
Bacteria have rights too!
The FDA's job is to keep us safe! /S
Open borders can lead to these kind of things...
A reason why in the day of Ellis Island about 10% were sent back home...
This is some scary s—t, right here.
They won’t be happy until half of the US has some crap like this!
Yikes. So much for cheap medicine in India.
Talked to a lady visiting with people at an assisted living home, wearing a surgical mask, yesterday. Bronchitis for seven weeks, antibiotics aren’t helping. Bacteria are alive too and nature gives them a survival strategy a lot like ours. The survivors of whatever came along to kill a bunch of us pass along the who’s-it that made such survival possible.
Of course our glorious and ever omniscient benevolent government rejects certain meds that are useful in treating certain diseases.
ANd also poo-poohs the use of some non-fda approved substances that do well against infections and viruses because they are not drugs, so therefore by fda definition cannot cure disease.
Bacterium Lives Matter!!!
Hey, if she took an antibiotic that hadn't been stringently tested, she could be dead ... oh, wait ...
India, okay. That settles it.
carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE),
which is resistant to all antibiotics available in the United States.(Emphasis mine)
Maybe the humane thing would have been to have her treated with drugs from Europe,which would have helped her
Around 1985 my Daughter had a really bad sinus infection. The Dr. gave her Erythromycin but after a few days she was worse. He then added Cephalexin. After a couple more days she was not getting better so we took her to the emergency room.
The Dr. there did a throat culture and prescribed Penicillin. That did the trick. After maybe 3 more days she was completely well.

This will become a huge problem. We are going to return to the old days.
My father had MRSA; I washed my hands constantly when I visited him a few times this spring before he died.
He abused antibiotics; he was a lawyer and called up a doctor friend of his for ABs every time he got a cold (!) and stopped taking them when he felt better. Absolutely the wrong things to do.
Yep.
That’s exactly what happened to my dad. He died of pneumonia and nothing was working.
Survival of the fittest...
