'Joke if you like, but my wife nearly died from cdif.'

My sister passed away from C-Diff in March. She went in to have a kidney stone removed and caught the virus in the hospital. Valley Hospital in Ridgewood NJ.

My doctor contracted it (I assume from seeing patients in the hospital.) She's young and healthy but was one very sick lady for a very long time after contracting the infection.
