Michael Jackson MRSA

[monkey tennis]

According to the British press....Michael Jackson has MRSA.
Apparently he was in hospital for another nose job when he caught the "flesh-eating" superbug.
Doctors have said that he could lose his nose altogether.

It's just sad.
I was never really a Jackson fan, I was always more into Prince.
I like some of his music but.......

Hmmm what Jackson song title would fit...."BAD" "Thriller" "Man in the Mirror".... ???

Knowing the British press this could all just have been made up.
Or it could all just be a Jackson game to get more press coverage, he's done stranger things.

If it's true, it's incredibly sad. I AM a Michael fan, have been all my life, and while it's true he's done some strange things, I would never wish this on him.

Wow. How horrible. Poor guy.

[huedell]

What hospital does he hang out in where a flesh-eating virus is running
rampant----GEEZ!

You'd think a superstar would have better options.

Jesus poor guy

It doesn't matter where you are, trust me. My father in law lost his eye to this kind of infection and he couldn't have gone to a better hospital or doctor.

I'm sorry for that tragic event of your father in laws---

I had no idea that it was the kind of thing that happened in higher end hospitals.

Even so...another thought crosses my mind...
I would've thought that this kind of thing (nose job) would get done in
a specialists' office/operating room-and not a public hospital.
(again---better options?)

Yeah, he has a nose for these things....

I honestly thought he lost his nose years ago. Weird stuff, especially because of his insane fixation on germs.

Absolutely.

I'm not exactly convinced this really happened
and one of the reason IS because of his germiphobe past...
and how the press may have conjured this rumor out of irony----

BUT
if it actually IS happening to him---can you imagine what he's thinking?
I mean it's been an almost lifelong phobia of his.

It's scary, but "superbugs" are becoming more and more common in hospitals these days. Part of the problem is doctors over prescribing antibiotics, and people not taking them for the length of time they are supposed to. So more of these strong, antibiotic resistant bacteria are showing up these days. And yes, it could happen at any hospital.

really due to his germiphobe issues ... and all the germ killer soaps etc. could have really weaken his immune system due to lack of germs ... making it easier for it to catch stuff.

sad if it is true. but heck if only his nose ... maybe it will allow him to rebuild, since that nub of his can hardly be called a nose

[SlipperyLilSuckers]

Eww the thought of having a flesh eating bug grosses me out...poor Michael.

[Vortigern99]

Well, the unnamed source said it "could" turn into the flesh-eating variety of infection, not that it is happening now.

And anyway, Michael likes to make stuff up to make himself seem like a victim, AND the British press don't exactly adhere to the highest standards of journalistic integrity, if you know what I mean.
