| - I got MRSA from the Phoenix office. Do NOT go here!
I came in for a routine check up on a Monday, and by Wednesday I had two large painful bumps on my back and thigh. At first I thought maybe they were spider bites, until a black hole developed in the center with pus and i started getting body aches, cold sweats and a fever. (Sorry for the details) So I went to the Dr's the following week, where Dr Kostov tested the wounds. She said that it looked like I got bit by a brown recluse (twice?) And put me on antibiotics, but I should wait to get the results back in a week. Eventually I got a call from a women at the front desk who said "oh so the test results came back positive for mrsa, just keep taking the antibiotics".. That was it, no explanation of what it was, nothing about whether I was on the right antibiotics, nada. I then CLEARLY asked if it was contagious and she said no! That same day my fiance came home early because of a large painful bump on his leg. After doing my own research I learned that MRSA is highly contagious and the most common place to get it is from hospitals/doctors offices. So I called back and told the same women at the front desk "I need to know if this is contagious because my fiance is experiencing the same symptoms, and she said oh uhm hold on (on hold) oh yeah, like I told you before it's highly contagious so you shouldn't share sheets, towels ect.. are you kidding me lady? My fiance and I both ended up going to the ER where they said based on my symtoms, I likely got mrsa from the doctors office and my fiance got it from me. (Generally, if your symptoms are very severe, the virus was most likely transmitted from a medical facility) But of course, I'm still responsible to pay for all the medical bills. I just hope they took the right precautions to disinfect the office after learning that at least one of their patients was in there with mrsa.
