My wife had an operation a few weeks ago - Brisbane Hospital. Just a fairly simple one - she had a skin cancer in her ear-lobe, so they cut it off and did a skin graft using skin from inside her leg. All seemed to be going reasonably well with that but she had a lot of pain in her back which got steadily worse.
About 3 weeks ago, I called the ambulance and they took her away to hospital. She had the usual set of tests and it was discovered that she had a kidney infection. They put her on antibiotic drip and more tests - no good - so they changed antibiotic and tried again .... and again ... and again. She was in hospital for 10 days and eventually they sent her home.
Two days later (last Monday) she was in so much pain that I took her to hospital again.
It seems she has contracted a super bug that none of the antibiotics will kill.
Thank you Brisbane Hospital - she obviously caught it there. So, what we do from here???? It seems it's got the specialists baffled.
