diagnoise with Klebsiella pneumoniae and Streptococcus pneumoniae on the 8th dec 2011. i had a partial thyroidectomy in march 2011 and this followed recurrent throat and chest infections march-dec 2011 which my gp not once asked for a spit sample and gave me 9 lots of anti biotics for without any tests.
now i find out the ones he gave me have made this/these bugs even worse
it was only when i was very ill they thought of a spit sample and the above result came back. so i have had this bug probably for 8 months and boy have i been ill
when i asked what i should do about finding out where i got bug, my gp was very flippant and said no one knows where u could have picked it up, no one can answer this question yet all the media coverage states its a HOSPITAL superbug caused by poor hygeine practices and dirty surgical equipment etc etc
i am furious and am about to write a very strong letter to the hospital and the health board demanding answers
