Re: My 22 year old college daughter has C-MRSA
not to give medical advice , since we're not allowed to here, (but i understand what it's like to face something unknown and turn to colleagues for help too, esp when it's our kids!!)
the doc who saw her in the clinic who was concerned...do you have his card? do you have know his name?
it sounds like she's been treated by whomever is in the office the day she goes. who cared for her in the hosp?
regardless, i would get the name of the doc who originally saw her (who was concerned), call him and see if he's got an answering service. next time you see him, tell him the troubles you've been having with different docs, and the differing opinions. maybe he'll give you a card with his private answering service onit.
since the ID doc doesn't know her and has no history with her, s/he'll prob tell you to go to hospital or call the other doc up.
i know i'm not much help, but i would really try to get a hold of the doc who originally said it was C-MRSA. even though it's w/e, usually they're in a practice you can get a hold of, and if you explain, they may put you through to him.
hope your daughter gets better soon. good luck. how scary!
