Patient discussion about hospitalism.

Q. Where is the best place to get Fibromyalgia treatment? I encountered some inexperienced hospitals that didn’t help too much. and I’de like to know if there is a recommended place/doctor.

A. Thanks for the info Dominicus,
I had seen this site but so many of the doctors have not been in touch for years ...that's why I was wondering about Alice's location. I understand how hard locating doctors and hospitals can be!I have found this site very helpful and I am sure if Alice lets us know an area if someone on Imedix has knowledge of a good hospital and doctor they will let her know ASAP. Thanks again and have a great day!

Q. My father was hospitalized for pneumonia. The doctors said they are afraid of HA-MRSA. Why is it so scary? My father was hospitalized for pneumonia last week. The doctors wanted to discharge him as quick as possible because they said that they are afraid of Hospital Acquired Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (HA-MRSA). Why is it so scary?

A. Hospital Acquired Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus is a leading cause of sepsis and death due to the fact that are very limited antibiotics that kill it.
Because of this it is the nightmare of doctors.
This bacteria is very durable and is very common in hospitals, and because of it, its always better to be at the hospital the minimum time needed.

Q. “If the alcoholic is sick why doesn’t he or she just go to the hospital?” Here is a question which confuses my mind and now I seek your help. “If the alcoholic is sick why doesn’t he or she just go to the hospital?”

A. denial is the word that alcoholics use in ther program,power123 is right-most people who have a alcohol problem is in denial about it--and the ones that think they have a problem-think(I CAN HANDLE IT-I CAN STOP WHEN I WANT TO)which is a misconception about the nature of addiction which includs visions of violence,street crime,dirty needles,fights at home and at the bar or place that they drink,wife beating,manipulating family and friens for money to continue to drink. ALCOHOLICS lie-and sell there bodys (females) for money to get more alcohol--the alcoholic only sees this when he is fully into his addiction--SOME ALCOHOLICS--can be alcoholics,and still keep it together,because there family and friends,help them to continue with there addiction.Other alcohoics lose everything-including thier family,they end up living on the street.---mrfoot56
