Tanya was a happy professional chef who like travelling just before being infected by MRSA. Her life turned drastically in March 2007 when she, in age 30, was struggling her life against MRSA. It all began when she was doing her routines cutting off celery and accidentally cut her finger. She thought it’s just a usual thing happened; she then sterilized the wound with alcohol and bandaged it to continue her work.
Strange thing happened hours later, she felt painful when she lifted a pan. Nine hours later it was getting worse and she decided to go to the hospital. Doctor gave her antibiotic to lessen the pain and asked her to take a rest at home. Somehow it was really bad night because she got fever and her body temperature was raising, she felt there’s something wrong from the wound.
The fact is that MRSA bacteria have spread fast into her body and bite repeatedly. In less than 60 hours all her fingers were quite gone by the bacteria. Tanya was infected by flesh-eating bacteria and 9 doctors worked hard to safe her life. Undoubtedly, the doctors saw clearly how it jumped from Tanya’s arm to her breast
The doctors immediately decided to amputate her arm and right shoulder, until then realized the bacteria has spread to her right breast. The only one way to keep her alive they then decided to continue amputating all her infected bodies.
It is a miracle for Tanya survives though she must remove her nine kgs flesh and muscles to clean it up from the bacteria. Still remains from her is just thin skin covering her ribs and right lung. “prick of pin can easily touch my lungs and kill me,” as Tanya showed her skin and bones as qouted from doctoroz.com Thursday, Oct 1st 2009.
