Glad to hear you got it done early enough! Yeah, MRSA was resistant to everything, so I got a combo of few things from my side research and against a dr advice used it and finished a nightmare of weeks in agony. Not phages, but other stuff. He is doing good! Thanks for asking!

Kasia @phagehunterkw.bsky.social · 29/11/2024
Hope you get well soon! Is it healing well? My son had MRSA on both toenails this summer and he had to have surgery on them, but he recovered fully. It was really swollen and red too. I hope it doesn't spread & treatment is effective!❤️

Sadly, it is bad in US as well! You have to know people to get you into places, I suppose, because I am waiting for weeks and no one has yet returned my phone calls for matching my kid with a therapist. Also, same for other specialists, like urologist for my kid. Not even 1 available in a big city😂

I have mixed feelings about this case, too. So many questions.

Kasia @phagehunterkw.bsky.social · 27/11/2024
I was thinking about separate case that would apply here, but I also have no idea on legal part if that actually can be a manslaughter in this case. I think causing death indirectly can apply, but I also am curious how a person in legal side of business can explain this.

Not sure how is the access to mental health services in UK, but in USA is not easy to find a right professional even for a child.

Kasia @phagehunterkw.bsky.social · 27/11/2024
Well, good point. Definitely many factors could drive people to take their own life. Do you think other people should be held accountable? I feel, if she had a help in the first place, this would hopefully never happen. Can this be prevented by better screening of the patients for mental health?

It is abuse that lead to death, so yes, should be treated as the man's fault. The pressure that exists in these dynamics just breaks you. Sad story about the victim😔
