Default strep thorat is killing people here

and a friend of mine has the syptoms. here's a quick blurb about it
STREP KILLS THREE IN NORTHAMPTON COUNTY

The state Health Department has issued an advisory to Lehigh Valley residents to be aware of strep throat and skin infections, which have led to the deaths of three Northampton County residents in recent days. The deaths include a teenage boy from Pen Argyl, whose death already been disclosed, and an unidentified adult from Pen Argyl. Morning Call reporter Dan Shope has the story — and what to be concerned about — in Sunday's Morning Call.
apparantly all of these people had strep for several weeks, combined with terrible canker sores on their tongues, and strange red spots on their arms and legs. my friend has had these exact syptoms for the past month and a half. i'm really worried about him. he doesn't have insurance yet (kicks in in august) and no money. i think i'm going to make him go to the hospital anyway.

this is just weird :thinking:

Doesn't matter about money, that's really close to those symptoms, you should really urge him to get looked at asap.

he's been to one doctor who apparantly knew nothing about this. i told him earlier to call the hospital, which he agreed to do.

i'm just worried that they won't be able to do anything to help him
