my brother has been a user for several years . he has tried to come off many times with methadone, residential trearment etc he was taken into hospital on friday with what they said was possibly pnuemonia but on our arrival today the nurse told us that he has a superbug infecting his blood and that it is very serious . can anyone please tell me if they know of this as we have been unable to speak to the doctor
Sounds like he has a systemic infection that has entered in to his blood stream. He probably will be started on strong antibiotics through an IV. In situations like this patients usually have a compromised immune system, and continous drug use will do that. This can be very serious, but given the right medical attention can be cured. Your brother needs a wake up call and this may help. best of luck
