Addi passed away in 2019 at age 20 when her donated lungs failed, she said she did not want to be put back on the list because she had been given her gift. There are some lovely articles covering all her milestones and accomplishments during her "gifted" time. Her name is Addie Rerecich, she touched so many and certainly made the most of those lungs, and those lungs gave her 8 years.

I was working in a retail pharmacy in 89 when cephalexin hit the retail market. It had been talked up as the brand new last-ditch antibiotic to be used only after all others had failed. The day it became available we got script after script. MDs who had been prescribing amoxicillin for years suddenly switched. I discussed this with my father who was an RPh and a PhD chemist. He predicted overuse was going to train new bugs to be resistant and people would end up sicker than before. And here we are.

Lost a 6 month old son in September of 1999 to Kleb. Haven’t heard it even mentioned since until this program. Never knew he had it until 3 months after autopsy when it was grown in a culture sample from his lungs. For those 3 months the we were being prepared for SIDS because there was no obvious signs of anything being the cause of death. At the time, my wife and I were told that about two infants per year die from Kleb in Arkansas and it was 100% fatal in infants. Woke up one morning and found him gone. Doctors said that his immune system went “haywire” and just shut his body down. To this day I have always wondered how in the hell he got that bacteria in his body.

We should be equally, if not more, concerned with, the use of antibiotics in the agricultural industry. About 80% of all antibiotics are used in agriculture, either in concentrated feeding operations (pigs, poultry, aquaculture) or on crops (citrus). This type of excessive use is allowing for resistance genes to become very widespread among bacteria in our air, water, and foods.

Been there done that! I picked up MRSA in April 2017 from my dorm, had an abscess drained, went septic, hospitalized for a day, IV vancomycin, discharged the next day. Then in December 2017, I got pneumonia. Well, the MRSA that was hiding dormant in my body bloomed into a lovely necrotizing pneumonia. 13 days in the hospital, 4 in the ICU, 2 chest tubes, 1 PCA, 24 hr staggered azithromycin and Zithromax infusion, 3.5 liters of pleural effusion drained, they almost put me on a vent. Well, I fucking made it! It wasn’t easy but I’m here! I got MRSA two more times (once as an abscess on my head and once as bronchitis) until I was finally referred to an infectious disease doctor and went through a decon protocol. Haven’t had it since and hope to keep it that way!!!!!!!!!

I had a double mastectomy with reconstruction and acquired a surgical site infection due to the plastic surgeon's horrific job of closing me up. Ten days after the surgery, I went to the ER because my wounds were hot, purlent, and red. The Dr's and nurses were horrified at the hack job, took a sample for the lab, cleaned, packed, and debrided the wounds and rebandaged me properly. They put in a hep-port and started me on sulpha-meth, but when the lab results came back as MRSA w/ necrotizing fasciitis, I was bumped up to vanco. After they were able to get the necrotizing fasciitis under control, they switched me back to sulpha meth for SEVEN MONTHS as the wounds granulated new skin. I was then taken off of the abx, and then MRSA cysts began growing all over my body. That was SIX years ago, and I still live with an active MRSA infection. So, take it from me, MRSA is no laughing matter.

And parents had for years demanded antibiotics with viral infections 'because it made the kids get better', even though antibiotics do nothing for viruses of course. Pinkeye? Probably a virus but it MIGHT be a bacteria; antibiotics! Gum disease from not flossing? Antibiotics! And surface-antibiotics like Tricoslan or whatever. Tricolsan? Whatever. The one that was in Dial and all the antibiotic soaps of the 90s and oughts. Everything that made you feel bad? Insist just a bit and you got antibiotics too, because the HMO's back then wanted fastfastfast and the generic antibiotics were fast and cheap and 'harmless'! Well...I hope we all enjoyed that 'low cost' fix to our insurance woes. I know my mom was guilty of that too any time she was paranoid about how bad I felt, even for stomach flus and everything else that worried her enough. I mean, maybe one of those things she worried about may HAVE killed me if she hadn't insisted...but we were all part of this cause. Doctors do it because we insist, because the insurers lean on docs to reduce billable hours, because lobbyists want to let Big Pharma keep making its record profits, and because we LET the lobbyists remain legal to DO that stuff. It's all us. Everything else is because of us, or FOR us. The government doesn't put antibiotics in the water. And chlorine is not the same, of course! Chlorine kills everything; "equal-opportunity death" is hard to grow resistant to. Big Pharma doesn't make us take the antibiotics. The doctor can't force us to treat infections. Hospitals can't either. But we opt to live with VERY-SUPER-MINIMUM, and sure I'll take anything that might help! *I* might die from this viral infection, gimme antibiotics to save my life! I insist! Screw my kids, my neighbors, my family's future...POUR IT ON ME. All us. All of it. Welcome to the future we not only deserve, but that we paid to guarantee. We can still fix this...but remember not to get 'antibiotics on the side' for things that you don't need it for. And buy less 'factory farm' food, because that level of disgusting jam-packing necessitates ongoing antibiotics as a corporate-level thing. Not curative dosing in response to an illness, but preventive, because 100 cows per square meter leads to (surprise) unhealthy cows and lots of poop all over each other. But hey, cheap burgers! Woo! \o/ We're getting EXACTLY what we've been paying for.

My husband just died from this but his situation was different, the hospital didn't test his blood for the best antibiotics to treat my husband they ended up overdosing him on IV antibiotics till he went into kidney and liver failure. They tried to say it was from his infection but I got the doctor to admit he didn't test the blood for the antibiotics that were responding to the infection. They didn't allow him to shower for weeks in the hospital they asked to do a pick line and the more I get information learning the more I learn they literally didn't do anything to save him and these were things I didn't know trying to learn everything I could. My heart is so broken because the way the hospital treated him was cruel and inhumane, I cannot get over how the hospital mistreated him going against his wishes and intentionally causing harm to end his life after not doing the basic treatment for his condition in the first place it's devastating and cruel. I truly wish I let him die at home it's what he was trying to do in the first place but I was so scared to loose him I would of done anything to save his life but didn't realize how badly he'd be treated how much worse they could make things on him.

It's amazing and scary in how fast a Sepsis/MRSA Infection can spread from a simple wound. I had that happen to me. I had a small wound (half the size of a small fingertip) that took several months to heal. About a month after it had finally closed up I was getting ready for bed when I looked down and saw that my foot had a very small, light red blemish that didn't hurt so I thought no big deal. However, when I woke up 7 hours later, my foot had swollen to 3xs its normal size and was now dark purple with a thick, black streak running down the side of my left foots instep!! It took 2 initial surgeries to cut out the infection and an additional 2 surgeries afterward, so in total they cut out about 30-35% of the inside of my left foot. When I was sent home the Dr had put in a "Tack/Tec" (?) line" in my right chest area so I could give myself I.V. Antibiotics for the next 12 weeks, although the Drs thought it would be 6 Weeks! The Dr did save my foot with very minimal scaring when my foot or possibly lower leg could have needed to be amputated! While I'm still healing 9 months later, I feel lucky when I think of what could have happened (Death)... EDIT: For those that may think my surgical wound (now about the size of a Half Dollar coin) wasn't a big deal. It's now been 19 months and it still hasn't closed all the way up!! Even walking more than a few hours a day causes my surgical wound to star bleeding! Just saying... smh. EDIT #2, I'm now on month 24 (2 years) of healing my foot surgery wound area and it's still open! I have changed the way it was being treated and that seems to have sped up the healing. I guess I'll see in a few weeks. Probably TMI, but I have WAY TMT ON MY HANDS! LOL ;)

As frightening as this is, it is amazing that most of us go through life so casually, experiencing scrapes and cuts, and exposing ourselves to potentially dangerous conditions, with no consequences. It is astounding that the millions of people living in horribly unsanitary environments such as the slums in India, are not dropping like flies. As a child I swam or waded through stagnant water ponds, and suffered cuts from barbed wire fences, yet only until reaching 60 did the odds finally catch up, when I caught a staph infection from exposure to sewer water from a backed-up shower drain. I had the typical puss filled boils on the skin, and eventually developed cellulitis in 1 leg. 3 injections and 5 weeks of several oral antibiotics appears to have knocked it out. It was a big wake-up, and I am much more conscientious about treating minor cuts and scrapes, disinfect my hands while out in public, and quit hand-shake greetings. Reports like this program make me deathly afraid of hospitals.

I had a MRSA/MSSA/Diphtheria infection in my thoracic spine (T9-T12). It started as a pain in my back. Then one day a week later I felt horrible, and got up from my desk (I was at home), walked 2 feet, and my legs gave out from under me. I couldn't breathe. My chest hurt, I was confused, and I had a fever of 104. I got to the hospital and was diagnosed with Sepsis. An hour later I was in the ICU. The infectious disease doctor asked me if I had any cuts on my body, and I said, "yeah, I have a small cut on my toe". A month later I was facing the possibility of having my right leg amputated... I had a heart attack from the bacteria. Ultimately I lost my right big toe, and parts of a couple others. My thoracic spine and some ribs were destroyed, and left me partially paralyzed. I had been on 14 different antibiotics for over 5 years. I was hospitalized most of that time, often in the ICU. The infection spread to my mouth, and I have had around 30 oral surgeries to fix it. At one point my infectious disease doctor came into my room and gave me the bad news: He'd never seen anyone with disease as severe as mine survive for any length of time; all have died within 5 years. It's been 7 years so far, and I can walk again, though with a limp (I cannot feel my right leg/foot), and the core of my body is still paralyzed. My mouth looks normal again. I have some cognitive problems from the septic shock (I had it 4 times), so I used to be a fast talker/thinker, and now I'm quite slow and have a hard time finding the right words in a conversation, and have problems with my memory. My team of doctors said I most likely won't live a lot longer, as they expect the bacteria to come back, and this time they're probably be resistant to everything.

@@charon7320 it has everything to do with those things you just listed. “Medical procedures” as you say, don’t “artificially” create the bacteria. They have evolved this resistance due to us killing them off. It is the basic process of evolution - just being influenced by antibiotics. Think about a mouse that is born faster and can escape predators better than other mice - those mice will die but the fast one lives and has offspring that carry it’s speedy gene. Then the trait gets passed down and is selected for because those faster mice survive more often. It’s the same with the bacteria - they naturally change genetically over time, so this resistance gene popped up on its own - it’s the fact that we are able to wipe out the non-resistant bacteria that allows the resistant ones to proliferate and persist, rather than just being a one-off. Point being, it is exactly having to do with natural biology and bacteria.

The best field to research is bacteriophage, and potentially using CRISPR edits to make unique bacteriophage for an individual. In the early nineties I visited a lab at University College London where they were computer modeling potential antibiotics, and even then the problem was that there was almost nothing in the pipeline that wasn't massively toxic and dangerous to humans. It's a field that has been pretty much exhausted and that was thirty years ago. While I appreciate science likes to think it will find all the answers, sometimes the answer isn't found in chemistry but in biology. By using the natural predator of the bacteria in question. In Georgia in the former USSR bacteriophage is the standard treatment. You swallow a fly, and follow it with a spider in essence. In the same way a parasitic virus infects our cells, the right bacteriophage for your bacteria will do the same thing. No profit in it though, still interested?

I watched a doc on this skin eating bacteria when I was in my teens. I didn't think it was prevalent in the environment...I met this older gentleman in my twenties, he had the exact same thing happen to him. Brushed against some rusted piece of metal, paid no attention to it. His leg, at the thigh, has a fist sized hole in it. Where they had to carve it out. While in the hospital, he contracted MRSA. Because they were already treating him for the skin bacteria he was too weak to treat. It got into his blood. Eventually, it didn't kill him, he recovered. However, every once in a while, he would have a wound that didn't heal. It was interesting to have known him, honestly if not a little awkward seeing his wounds. That is a reality that he showed me exists...

I once fell into a drain deeper than my height when I was riding a bicycle. I had also rolled down a slope and almost hit on rocky surface.

Excellent program that I had known about before. I had remembered Addie‘s story. I remembered that before I retired, I spent most of my working life as a microbiology technologist and phlebotomist working with bacteria, fungi, and parasites in hospitals. Antibiotics were used so much to treat so many, unnecessarily, for things like a scraped knee with no infection and, often, in higher doses for a longer-than necessary period of time to “avoid“ more sick or another, secondary, infection. Many doctors didn‘t always check to see if a “flu bug“ was caused by a bacteria or virus. Back in the 60s and 70s, they were often used to “prevent“ secondary infection when the primary organism was still unknown. And then, one of the first “superbugs“ to develop was Methicillin-resistent Staph Aureus and a very nasty Mucoid Klebsiella Pneumoniae.

We should push for changes in the law. Hospitals should be forced to report those outbreaks to the public. We have a right to know, so new patients can avoid those hospitals. And yes, they should have closed the hospital temporarily at least, until the outbreak was under control or at least until they knew where it was spreading.

Doctors usually over prescribe antibiotics as a CYU (cover your a**) because if patients weren’t given antibiotics and they got a bacterial infection they’ll write a negative review at best (doctors can’t defend themselves cuz HIPPA) or might go to the hospital and get seriously sick.
