Kelly Pavlik's Staph Infection(Picture + Date)

[Stickman]

How the **** do some ppl get staph infections anyways?

Being extremely dirty? I mean I jog every single day probably around 7-8 miles if not more and I come home and the first thing I do is not take a shower but just rinse my face off because I lift weights later then I hit the showers.

I mean I constantly swet, probably more then anyone on the entire planet but I don't get the staph infection...

It has nothing to do with sweating. It's a bacterial infection, nothing more than that. People usually get it from a Hospital....ironic, I know, but true. Staphylococcus (there are several types) infections can be hard to get rid of simply because they are usually resistant to penicillin, and alternative antibiotics have to be used, like oxacillin and other antibiotics engineered for resistant strains of bacterium.

In people with even slightly compromised immune systems, it can be lethal. I saw a guy who had a 2 toes blown off by a training accident back in '88. He went to Bethesda and everybody joked about how lucky he was (could've been much, much worse). A few weeks later they were taking his leg off at the knee because of a staph infection he got at the hospital wasn't treated in time and his leg turned gangrenous. That means it started rotting off.

the body has natural defenses against microbes, but sometimes they can pass through via an open wound in the skin like a cut.

he shouldn't be scheduling and rescheduling until that thing is healed, it's unprofessional as someone said already.

[DrewWoodside]

When you deal with professionals, you donīt leave your common sense at the door. No doctor can ever tell you with SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE how long it will take for an infection to resolve. He can give you the accepted course of antibiotics, and how long it should - key word s h o u l d - take to resolve. Too many variables to make a bold statement regarding a contract worth millions, specially when you are working with bacterial infection that could very well be resistant to antibiotics.

The doctorīs diploma canīt do **** about living organisms that mutate, for example.

People that deal with professionals - leaving common sense at home - is what makes people like Bernie Maddoff succeed in this world.

Pav-licks did.

What does common sense have to do with it. As I stated earlier, the man is caught between a doctor's professional opinion and the desire to fight + politics/business. It's more black & white then: use your common sense. You take the information at hand, consider the situation then make a decision. He had the opponent he wanted, the date, and likely what he considered to be an excellent opportunity to come back. If you wait on something like that, it may not be there in 6 months. Team Pavlik gambled and lost. The result is ultimately unprofessional, however it's far from being as simple as he doesn't have common sense or he doesn't care about his career. So frequently, NSB requires complex situations summed up by a single sentence, the reality is it's not that SIMPLE.

No, it's not like athlete's foot. That's caused by a fungus. Staph is a bacterial infection. Much worse than even the worst ever case of athlete's foot.
