I had a "minor" bought with MRSA a few years back that put me in the hospital for 2 days. Several weeks after getting a tiny little scratch near my elbow my entire forearm swelled up a couple inches. I went through several oral antibiotic treatments before they had to stick me in the hospital to give me the crazy IV stuff. The one that ended up solving the infection was vancomycin, which has been historically the "drug of last resort." During that little incident, I developed an allergy to two different antibiotics, so on top of bacterial resistance, now I have to be concerned with my own body's inability to deal with particular antibiotics.
Also, let me tell you, IV Benadryl is some good shit...
