    I know it’s probably stupid, but I’m terrified my op will be postponed because of a positive mrsa swab? I have my pre op on wednesday and I’m really worried!! I’m a student living in a gross student house and I’m worried about it x

    Tasha, ahh good luck hun, let me know how it goes!! xxx

    Gemma, mrsa is a bug you get mostly in hopsitals i believe but is also carried in pets, etc etc, in your pre op they do blood pressure, height and weight, and they swab your nose and armpit for mrsa. if you have it, they let you know within four working days, they put you on a week of antibiotics, then test you again. If you were positive to begin with, then you need three clear tests before having an op. x

    I was so worried about mine coming back positive! I’m a nurse and I had literally been looking after a patient with MRSA the week of my pre op and mine came back negative! So I wouldn’t worry 🙂
