Nice seeing Dr Low again. He was my professor at U of T. He also led the fight against the first SARS that hit Toronto. So sad that he has since passed away. 😢

[@scootermom1791]

That's awesome that he was involved with the fight against SARS. If not for the efforts of Canada, that virus could have easily developed into a worldwide pandemic, too. I watched an amazing documentary about SARS years ago, but sadly, I haven't been able to find it since then. I worked for a corporation at the time SARS had been around, and we were making all kinds of preparations for it just in case it wasn't contained. I applaud Canada for everything they did to prevent that virus from infecting the world! 🙂

Sadly Dr. Donald Low passed away in 2013 from a brain tumor. He was quite a hero in Canada when in 2003 he was the voice of calm when SARS virus a type of Corona virus was breaking out in the Toronto area. Happy to see he has left a great legacy behind.

Crying while watching this video because it gave me flashbacks from the past..I went through this horrible experience with my son in 1999 (my son was 7) when he started having a flu symptoms like fever and pain went to the hospital and they send us back home, they said it must be the flu, 2 days after went back to emergency room and they send us back home AGAIN (I listened to the doctors cause you think they know better) the same night after we got home my son complained about a horrible pain in his leg by night time he couldn't walk or move went back to Emergency and I remember starting screaming saying "I WON'T go home this time until I found out what's wrong with my son" like 2 hours after in the waiting room my son got unconscious, my son almost died, to be short with the story, they did 4 surgeries on him in that same week, his leg is kind of deformed now, but thank God he survived, I remember a doctor telling me they never had a case like that in that particular Hospital, he said is very rare, so people DON'T BE SATISFIED when the doctors said "must be this or that" if you or any of your loved ones are in a serious pain DON'T wait, DON'T go home, fight for a test, It may save your life, this bacteria is VERY DANGEROUS!

[@brendamurphy8654]

Madycat That’s what happened to me 4 years ago, I was in a hospital, that didn’t know what was killing me, except they did 3 surgeries removing the dead tissue...It took My Husband threatening them with a major lawsuit, and gave them 40 minutes to have me on a helicopter, to get to a better hospital. As soon as I arrived, the 1st doctor looked & knew exactly what I had, but by the time he got me into surgery (right away), I had to have my leg amputated (I got it through a puppy scratch, on my toe). I had fevers from 105•-106•F, for over a week, intubated, septic shock, & given Last Rites. I don’t remember much, except for the HORRIFIC PAIN... that I still have, with my nerves!

My flesh-eating MRSA took my leg because a negligent doctor, who never looked at my chart, took me off my original antibiotics. I had been in a wheelchair, since I was 17. Paralyzed from T-5/6 down, I didn't think anything else could happen, but, after surgeries to fix my initial rods because they had sheared off 2-3 discs, MRSA showed itself as the drama queen it is. It didn't help that I was allergic to Vancomycin. Which is the best drug for it, but they had to find others. I informed my doctor why I didn't want her anymore, and I hope she learned from it. She beat my osteomyelitis (bone infection), but continued issues made it come back. I am living my life to the fullest I can because it leaves you with constant infections that are life threatening, but I will remain a fighter!

[@asteri8299]

@@fd4002 AIDS was once considered terminal a decade ago, however, there are treatments available that help manage it to a chronic illness. just because it isnt curable doesnt mean its not manageable. Without HIV medicine, people with AIDS typically survive about 3 years. Once someone has a dangerous opportunistic illness, life expectancy without treatment falls to about 1 year. HIV medicine can still help people at this stage of HIV infection, and it can even be lifesaving. But people who start ART soon after they get HIV experience more benefits. They may not be considered the same illness but they are caused by the same virus, AIDS is the late stage of HIV infection that occurs when the body’s immune system is badly damaged because of the virus, so medications that treat hiv by reducing the amount of the virus in the body help both preventing aids from worsening, as well as help manage it.

As soon as I arrived, the 1st doctor looked & knew exactly what I had, but by the time he got me into surgery (right away), I had to have my leg amputated (I got it through a puppy scratch, on my toe). I had fevers from 105•-106•F, for over a week, intubated, septic shock, & given Last Rites. I don’t remember much, except for the HORRIFIC PAIN... that I still have, with my nerves!

So many of these are spread in schools and daycares. It's so important to teach young children to cough into their elbow and wash their hands.

I try to wash my hands a lot but it doesn't help when they cough directly into your face- and they ALWAYS seem to cough directly into my face, I rarely ever see children covering their cough or washing hands, they just let it fly in all directions.

Not long after she was rushed to the hospital because she smelled like rotting flesh and was having more serious visual hallucinations. They had the infected skin cut off and was in the hospital for about a month. Even now doctors say they don't know what she has but some believe she caught it in surgery. She almost died and they didn't believe she'd make it. Now about 2 months later she is barely recovering. In hospital she was having visual and auditory hallucinations and fell multiple times. Her symptoms seem to add up with flesh eating bacteria. Her wound was a very dark color, smelled like decomposition, her kidney was beginning to shut down and a lung was affected as well. She had to be intubated because she wasn't breathing by herself. They also said she had pneumonia.
