> [@Liberal](#): > > I’m taking an antibiotic that has two medicines: (1) an amoxicilin for internal bacteria, and a sulfate for external bacteria. My internist fears, of all things, a possible onset of flesh eating bacteria. I’m going to a dermatologist tomorrow for a second opinion. Doesn’t sound like necrotizing fasciitis (aka ‘flesh eating bacteria’) by your description, that is usually pretty rapidly fatal if not treated super-aggressively. There’s a lot of CA-MRSA out there causing soft tissue infections these days, especially to injured/abraded skin; those infections usually respond quickly to incision and drainage, if there’s an abscess pocket, and/or trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole or tetracycline-type antibiotics. I hope you get better. ---

Perhaps you can question my cock size next? Honestly, I have no dog in this fight. I don’t take any of this personally. I could really care less about the Libertarian Circus of Medical Oddities and Personal Drama. The dopers seem to believe his bullshit, and that’s all that matters really -at least to him. What I do find fascinating is how this place allows this circus to set up a tent. If I start a thread right now titled “SDMB has the highest collective IQ on the Internet” it would be 4+ pages in a few days with posts of people bragging how they joined MENSA at the age of 12. But for some reason these people aren’t smart enough to see through Libertarian’s bullshit. The mods coddle him and create special rules just for him. I just find the whole thing fascinating. ---

> [@Seven](#): > > Perhaps you can question my cock size next? Okay, what _is_ your cock size? Nevermind, you’ll probably lie about that too. Really, neither size is all that important. Many great men have been short, and had tiny penises. It’s entirely genetic, and not your fault. ---

(Every single such claim like that I’ve read has been made by posters dumber than hedgehogs - who are notable for having brains with very few convolutions.) Why do you continue to read his bullshit when it is so easy to skip over? If others for whatever reason do feel like reading his personal diary and woeful saga bits, for whatever reason, then why do you care? BTW, 5’6" on a tall day. What’s it to ya? ---

> [@DSeid](#): > > BTW, 5’6" on a tall day. What’s it to ya? 😛 That’s not “really, really”. I was playing the old “Napolean Complex” card. Trying to rile. It worked. He lied. You most likely didn’t. Some of my best friends… 😉 I’m 5’9", on the cusp of short. Being average gives me an advantage in observing both extremes. Tall people, 6’3" or so and taller are kinda weird too. And jealous of their height. What were we talking about? ---

> [@MrDibble](#): > > Lib, are you planning on returning to your Aesthetic Jesus thread anytime soon? Yes. But I have to think about how to explain to a particular poster (not you) that in disciplines like philosophy — or for that matter, science — words are borrowed that are close to the intended meaning, but are redefined for the purpose of mutual understanding. It has been my experience that a poster like that will shit in the thread continually, and never comprehend that a word can mean more than one thing — like force in science, which is mass times acceleration, or force of law, which is not. (Or force play in baseball. Or air force in the military. Or force in ethics, etc.) I have to have the way I’ve defined “aesthetics” accepted in order to go forward. > [@RedFury](#): > > You shouldn’t make such exacting demands from an injured man.

Thanks very much for that information. The exact antibiotic I’m taking is called “Augmentin”. It’s 875mg. 20 count. I’m scheduled to see a dermatologist tomorrow afternoon. This should be right up his alley. ---
