My friend had a staph infection while in jail, received 60 days of antibiotics, but still has sores and became sick. He was eventually sent to the ER, where they found an infected right flank muscle, drained 500ml of MRSA infection, and inserted a drain. Despite being on vancomycin since June, he has been to the hospital 8 times and the infection persists. Why hasn't he been given a different antibiotic?
