Rarely do we get a documented look at acute illness from a patient’s perspective–most patient blogs discuss chronic disease. As there’s been a lot of talk about MRSA lately, I thought it’s a perfect time to showcase fellow Stanford student (fine, now PhD) Nick Yee’s documentation of his MRSA abscess and bactrim drug reaction , the poor guy! This all happened to him while he was getting ready to do his dissertation defense. Luckily he’s back to full health now. He does a great job of talking about his symptoms, what happened, and what he learned. Plus he’s got some pretty amazing/classic pictures of a drug rash .
