"mrsa after heart operation."

About: Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh at Little France / Cardiothoracic Surgery

(as a relative),

I was discharged from edinburgh with mrsa. had to be readmitted for a wound vac stayed in for 5 weeks. home for 3 weeks with vac in. went back got it out a month later readmitted to the victoria hospital in kirkcaldy with sepsis mss which came from edinburgh royal. I have heard that lots of your patients end up with mrsa. it has now left me with oestomylitis in my sternum. waiting to go for an mri scan in november to see if it had spread. I will need a bone scraping if it has, but if edinburgh royal doesn't clean its self up I wont be going back there.
