Markus, as I said in the ohter thread, the most recent statistics for the Sacramento area indicate Community Acquired MRSA is more common than Hospital Acquired by a significant margin.
Kevin, glad you are okay, hit them all up for a break on the bills, medically indigent, poor grease monkey. You should be able to get them to cut you some slack, especially if you do some kind of payment agreement with them. Lot of dudes with disposable cash here, what about a fund raiser for young Kevin?

Milt? Email me...guys? Let's start a fund to help Kevin with the bills...the poor guy has no insurance, as many of us who are/were self employed operate or operated...those who have employer paid health insurance have no clue how expensive it is for the self employed. Too often the choice is between paying rent and buying health insurance. Rent wins...otherwise, you're out of biz.
I nominate Milt as the fund collector. I hope he accepts.

Just read that thread again. Thanks Tobra.
It is a jungle out there it seems. We have grown so accustomed to good protections against microorganisms during the last fifty years, I am fairly certain we will have a rude awakening sometimes soon. New strains of Influenza for instance. The bug world will strike back. Sooner or later.

Big relief. I've been checking the board on a regular basis for this thread alone. Get well soon, Kevin!

Just saw this and I'm glad you're doing better Kevin.
Whether Paul or Milt puts something together, one of you guys let me know what I can do to help. |

Kevin -- get better soon. The bills can wait. Don't risk the chance of this bug not going away by getting run down...
You are in my prayers. -Z-man.

Heh heh. Don't be so quick to pass on the collection idea until you see the bills.

Glad to hear you're OK...I was definitely worried. I also know what it's like to have medical bills with no insurance...a real drain on resources.
FWIW, I just saw on Fox news that 90,000 people contract MSRA in the US and 18,000 succumb to it's effects. A higher mortality rate than AIDs.

My next-door neighbor brought his 911 out to Kev for some body work after a talk yesterday, (he already knew about A.I.R. from this board), and my 996 will probably end up there soon for some paint work. We just need to keep scratching-up our cars and getting them fixed there and he will be OK.
Take it easy, Kevin, let the healing process work. There is plenty of time to work ourselves to death.

Great news! I was at a show Sun. night (Ratdog w/ Steve Kimock...catch 'em if you can
!) and was walking down a stairwell (occasionally touching the handrail), when my g/f admonished me to stop, and mentioned MSRA. She's a nurse, and knew nothing about this thread...that's some scary stuff no doubt! Take care Kevin, and although I'm not going to mess my car up just for you, I too would be willing to help if it gets to that point.
