Sandy

I have trouble understanding myself. I often go and read a post I

wrote earlier and think why didn't I read it thru befoire I pressed

send.I tend to be a bit lazy but often feel that if your keen enough

you will keep pestering to get to the bottom of understanding a

phenomena.I basically feel people learn if they keep asking and if

you keep pursuing the different angles so the knowledge eventually

seeps in.(This is how I taught people at work)

Anyways I'll try and get you on song. When you work with an infection

hospitals and doctors use testing discs to work out what the optimal

treatment may be- There are over 100 antibiotics all specifically

manufactured to target different infections, in different body

parts.You had a swab of your sinus/nasal passage to see if you carry

oppurtunistic/infection causing bacteria, you obviously did have a

staph species that is recognised as not so good(POSSABLY

mrsa) ..unfortunately you didn't give the bells and whistles of an

infected person so this knowledge is ignored---BUT----the fact that

you are not well and are suffering and have gone past the spiking a

fever stage..earlier in the disease process, you are in the

CHRONICALLY INFECTED CATEGORY as opposed to the only one doctors

recognise, ACUTELY INFECTED.
