Clav, you think you have it bad?

This past summer me and my SO both came down with MRSA. If your nat familiar, it is a strain of staph that cannot be treated by anything but a select few antibiotics. Let's put it in perspective, you can't be in the same room as an aids patient or anyone under 10 or over 70 if you have it in the hospital waiting room.

The strong antibiotics cuased my SO to bleed vaginally. Additionally, a chunk of rotten flesh the size of a gold ball in diameter fell out of her buttocks tissue and left a gaping abcess in her skin.

When I took her to the hospital, the doctor walked in the room, looked at me standing next to her and asked me what was wrong with her. She's on the table fully awake and he asks me.
I told him what we where diagnosed with and he told us that we shouldn't tell a doctor what we have, that's his job to determine.
Then he looked at me and asked me to describe her symptoms. I resisted the smart ass remarke and gave him a run down. By this time she was seriously pissed that she was sitting right there and he was speaking as if she wasn't in the room.
He told us the abcess was probably from a bug bite, that our cultures must be mistaken, and then he laid down the bomb. He told me we should start using condoms and she's probably bleeding becuase she doesn't realize she's pregnant. I looked at him, blinked, and told him we do use protection. Then he looked at me and told me we proably had an accident.
I smiled weakly at him, inquired if they had an OBGYN who was femaile who could make a profesional call on the subject, and he responded that the hospital did not employ any female OBGYN's. By this time he had not even looked at her in the eyes yet.
I just handed him the CDC printout regarding our antibiotic showing that vaginal bleeding was a side effect and to see a doctor if it occurs.

It just amazed me that a doctor could speak about a patient as if they weren't in the room and aware of what was happening. he must have thought I was the man in the relationship, so I would have the answers.

That'll teach me to go to a Hospital in Georgia.
