Real Life Medical Emergencies Caught Just in Time

Bug Bite or Something Else?

I’m not a doctor, but my girlfriend recently got a “bug bite” on her back that she didn’t think was a big deal. It looked like a staph infection to me. She said no, and insisted that it was just a bug bite.

She even laughed me off when I expressed concern. Eventually, though, I convinced her to let me draw a circle around it to see if it got any bigger.

The next morning, she woke up screaming. It had spread about six inches outside the circle and was hot to the touch. I dragged her to the emergency room, where a doctor said she had MRSA…and a smart partner! Story Credit: Reddit/scientasticday
