WHERE'S MAGIC. SURELY HE CAN PULL US THROUGH THESE HARD TIMES.

You have AIDS.
Yes, you have AIDS.
I hate to tell you, boy, you have AIDS.
You got the AIDS.
You may have caught it when you stuck that filthy needle in here.
Or maybe all that unprotected sex which we hear.
It isn’t clear, but what we’re certain of is that you have AIDS.
Yes, you have AIDS.
Not HIV, but full-blown AIDS.
Be sure that you see that this is not HIV, but full blown AIDS.
Not HIV, but full-blown AIDS.
I’m sorry, I wish it was something less serious, but it’s AIDS.
You’ve got the AIDS...







But at least it isn't staph infection!

10/18/2007 9:02:47 AM

some of the strains of staph are resistant to most every antibiotic known to man, including vanc, which is like... uberantibiotic

kinda scary.

10/18/2007 9:34:54 AM

yea, VRSA is pretty much uncurable from what i've read

10/18/2007 9:39:02 AM

AIDS doesn't really kill very many people in the US. Its the stuff you catch from leaving your body susceptible through the meds suppressing AIDS and HIV

MRSA is what's been in the news lately and is what is so prevalent in hospitals right now, not VRSA. VRSA is still pretty rare

10/18/2007 10:19:43 AM

at least you can't get this one from sex

unless you're into some crazy shit that ambrosia would post up here

10/18/2007 10:20:08 AM

MRSA was responsible for closing a school district in VA. Kids dying and shit.

10/18/2007 10:22:20 AM

i think you get it from close contact and open cuts and stuff

"A study published Wednesday in the Journal of the American Medical Association estimates that MRSA infections occurred in nearly 95,000 Americans in 2005. Based on those figures, an estimated 18,650 people died due to their MRSA infection in 2005. That death rate is higher than the HIV/AIDS death rate for that year, and the number of MRSA related deaths is much higher than previously thought."

Over use of antibiotics. The AMA has been bitching about it for years.

10/19/2007 1:44:10 AM

is this this what my pinhead poly-sci freinds were talken about at the fair today??? They kept calling it a flesh eating bacteria and refering to it like it was some new popular thing

10/19/2007 1:46:37 AM

^Prolly. Staph is nasty and can fuck you up bad. Legit pro athletes have nearly lost limbs thanks to Staph.

10/19/2007 1:51:42 AM

yah it is what they were talking about but they absoltuly INSISTED that it was a flesh eating bacteria and didn't believe me when i told them how rare it was, esp in more developed areas, and they must be mistaken.
