I was in hospital after bowel surgery & got an infection. Also got dbl pneumonia. It turned out to be a superbug. I had to be treated with a lot of strong antibiotics in hospital (in icu) & was kept in isolation from then till when I got discharged. This meant that any nurse or hospital people had to put the yellow plastic coat & plastic gloves before they could come in (& Dr's).
