I have been feeling like crap evr since my ordeal of systemic MRSA from surgical wound. Why aren't hospils helping the the bills since they're at fault? Also, anyone sore all over with severe depression?

Short of finding a lawyer who will litigate against large
medical corporations, the medical profession assumes no
liability; remember,they are "practicing" medicine.
I think that the only chance we stand is if there were a class action law suit, where
the big bucks are there for the lawyers.

I agree with pao.I tried to sue no lawyer would touch it, for me or my grandmother and me combined, no money and harder to prove on case by case they needed a bunch of people to make it worth their while

I full understand. I contracted a hospital born MRSA in 2/2003. During a spinal procedure that has less then 1% total complications. Within 10 days, I was disabled. The MRSA was in my thoracic spine. I had to rushed in for emergency debriement by way of a thoracotomy. Boy that in it self was a experience. The MRSA jumped to my lung in the ploracy and my para-spinal muscle. As a result I have only 52% total pulmonary function, lost my 8th rib, and in 2/2007 had to have six robs put in my back. fusing T-2 through T-10. Going on 5 years of MRSA aftereffects, being tired, depressed and unable to do most the things I did before. All I wanted was to have some herniated discs from a MVA repaired. Not the out come I was expecting.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
