So... MRSA Staph Infection... what is the cost to correctly diagnose? And what is the cost of the antibiotics?

I'm not a doctor, but most non-boutique antibiotics are dirt cheap.

I didn't intend to trivialize the illness. I more meant that this could happen to _anyone_. And if this is the cost for things that can happen to anyone, we have a real problem on our hands. Much like it's a problem that a basic, no-complications, baby delivery costs $15-20k.

Insurance is math, and the math gets scary quickly unless costs are controlled.
