My friend has viral Meningitis(sp?)

I was telling my girlfriend that i wanted to go to the hospital and see him and she was like well my mom says that you should be careful and that is not a good idea. I was like Thats my friend..i can give 2 shits about what your mom says. (her mom is a nurse) Then she goes on to say how it wouldnt be a good idea to go...

God women can be real insensitive when it doesnt affect them. But as soon as some shit goes down and they want your support if you dont hear it they automatically have a bitch fit

Sorry just had to :rant:

That sucks...I hope your friend is ok. Is that the deathly one?

 

I heard they both are...but bacterial meningitis is the deadly one.

 

Meningitis can be contracted from breathing the same air.

It's not a good idea to see your friend for quite some time.

 

Do they have stuff you can put on to go see him?

"Most cases of meningitis result from infections that are contagious. The infectious agents usually spread from person to person in tiny drops of fluid from the throat and nose of someone who is infected. (This could be a person with either meningitis or, more likely, the common infection caused by that germ.) The drops may become airborne when the person coughs, laughs, talks, or sneezes. They then can infect others when people breathe them in or touch the drops and then touch their own noses or mouths."

I'm assuming Jae could put on a suit or something, but the hospital might not even allow it to keep the illness quarantined.

Bacterial is way more serious than viral, but it's still nothing to take lightly.

 

I remember watching movies in science class about this. I hope everything turns out ok.

 

Its weird...his mom told me the doctors said it isnt contagious :thinking:

 

You should check if his room is in isolation before you go. He may not be allowed to have visitors.
