Hospital - Site of Infection

I have not had time to write lately. Work has been crazy. We have been having the strangest cases being sent to us from all around Southern California. Patients that initially came in with bites or scratches and then dying within differing time spans from a few hours to days. And the patients have been dying from symptoms that, even if taken together, should not have been fatal. Respiratory symptoms that caused death, even when the patient had been placed on a ventilator. Infection that just rages through all the bodies systems, no matter what treatment is administered. The patients have strength they should not possess in the condition that they are in. They get delirious and combative right before or sometimes even after coding. I know of at least a dozen instances of Emergency Room personnel reporting being bitten by patients with similar symptoms. I myself have been bitten, just last night.

Hopefully, the autopsies will tell us something about what is killing these patients so fast and in such unusual ways. I sent down two patients to the morgue just last night, the one who bit me and another who came in just a few minutes after. Both had been bit and rapidly went downhill. Both were dead within hours of being brought in and both had bitten at least one member of the personnel before they died.
I am so exhausted from working two doubles in a row. My head is hurting and so is my hand. I guess I will go to sleep now.
