Alex Smith suffering serious complications.
[Bickel] Hearing from several different people over last few days that Alex Smith is having devastating complications from his broken leg surgery battling infection. Supposedly he's had multiple surgeries to try to combat infection. Chances of him playing again in real jeaopardy.

Intravenous antibiotics, just fill the bag with every antibiotic you have and pump it in there for 10 days nonstop. Doctors are tentative with infections far too often. |

I’d disagree. I had an abcess on my leg that got gnarly quick and they threw the book at me. No IV, but oral, hot in my ass localized until the culture came back. Pretty aggressive for a big (albeit really big) zit.

Clindamycin, Bactrim, or Doxycycline?

Bactrum was the oral one. I don’t know what they were injecting in my ass (subcutaneously with a syringe - you ****s) and I don’t know what all they did at the site. I just know I was ****ing wiped for better than a week.

This is stunningly bad advice.

What would happen if you pumped someone full of multiple antibiotics for 10 days straight?

After that, depends on the antibiotic. Vancomycin and aminoglycosides, which he's almost certainly getting, are nephrotoxic , so you have to monitor kidney function. Other antibiotics for resistant staph infections like linezolid can cause bone marrow suppression after two weeks and serotonin syndrome if given with certain meds. Daptomycin can cause breakdown of your muscle tissue. Many others can destroy your GI flora and increase your chances of a c. diff infection. Beyond that, more than 1-2 antibiotics for certain susceptibility (gram positive, negative) is wholly unnecessary and only increases side effects.
