Isn’t THAT the truth. They spread it and then check you in to eliminate it. Some patients are able to receive antibiotic treatment at home, self administered. Technology in action. If Steve is in ICU once again this is far too serious for alternative treatment.
Prays going up for Steve Scalise and his family, friends, as well as our USA.

if he’s septic, they have medicines for that...ICU is sometimes simply a precaution....fewer patients, more hands on deck...

Add my prayers to the entire Scalise family.

Brings to mind how former NY Lt. Governor (and Health Care expert) Betsy McCaughey always emphasizes the importance of being aware of germs on virtually all hospital equipment.
Last time I saw her, she touted a pamphlet detailing how infectious such items as call buttons, remote controls, hand rails, etc. can be; she stressed how vital it is for someone close to a patient insists upon everything be sanitized.

Having had three elderly relatives (both parents and my mother’s sister/my aunt) succumb to embolisms following hip and or leg fractures, I can fully relate to complications.
Hopefully, Steve Scalise’s spirit can help him overcome this setback.

Lord hear our prayer. Mercy abundant on Steve Scalise and great strength for his family.

His priest from Louisiana happened to be in DC at the time of the shooting, you recall. It escapes me the name of his church at home, but they were all together praying for his survival, and the family of Steve was so grateful to have their home priest arrive directly at the hospital and by their side to administer the Sacrament.

He must make it through this. The Bride cries for Steve.

Dear Lord

Your servant Steve has been a champion for the cause of your most precious and delicate souls, please if it is your will, grant him the strength and protection to overcome all that he faces and that he may quickly rejoin the battle.

Surely, you guys know he is under the care of Dr. Sava. The very physician, under who’s care, Seth Rich went from walking and talking to dead in a matter of hours.

Don’t get screwy on us. He was grievously wounded.

We should demand an investigation to see if the shooter was part of a larger conspiracy.

“The congressman was struck in the hip and the bullet tore into blood vessels, bones and internal organs. He has undergone several surgeries.

Sources told Fox News that doctors had anticipated that Scalise would suffer an infection related to the shooting. Sources close to the congressman indicated that they had been told from the start that the Louisianan’s recovery would have ups and downs”.

Seen this a lot. I do this for a living. Common. I’m sure the doctors figured on it as a possibility from the getgo.

On a doctor visit today (first visit), I was given a questionnaire to fill out after the visit. It asked if the MD, the nurse(s) and techs washed their hands. All of them did.
