Most people are infected with bacteria and can take antibiotics to treat the disease. However, if they are infected with resistant bacteria, the commonly used antibiotics are also "drugs and stones". The infected people are prone to complications and even fatalities.
Liang Tai recalled that her husband worked as a middle-level manager during his lifetime, but in 2018, he suddenly suffered from "dermotomyositis", an immune system imbalance, and attacked his own good cells. He lost a lot of weight, suffered frequent joint damage, and lost 20% of his lung function. He followed up at the Day Medical Center of Queen Elizabeth Hospital and took the immunosuppressant "cyclophosphamide" to suppress the immune system. However, because his immunity was lower than that of ordinary people, he was admitted to the Iraqi hospital for fungal infection at the end of May last year.

Abnormally overcrowded patient in the C6 Ward
Mr. Liang mentioned that Mr. Liang’s C6 ward was extremely overcrowded, and could only accommodate 8 beds, but was packed with more than a dozen beds. She worried that the crowded environment would make her husband more easily infected by others. Medical staff expressed their wish to move to a more sparse bed or transfer to an isolation ward, but they were refused. Shortly after admission, after June 1, Mr. Liang was transferred to a hospital bed next to the corridor. When people walked in the corridor, Mr. Liang would pull up the curtain to block it, but in many cases the nurse would pull it away for medical procedures. .
Mrs. Liang and later found out that her husband was infected with bad bacteria, but the hospital has been untruthful. She said that on June 18, Mr. Liang needed to receive one more drug infusion. The doctor only said that the hospital found that Mr. Liang was infected with one more bacteria and needed to take one more antibiotic. No details were given. Mrs. Liang checked the name of the drug Colistin online and suspected that her husband was infected with CPE. The hospital was cleaned and disinfected in the ward one or two days later, and arranged for Mr. Liang to transfer to another ward with only 4 beds, and then isolated him with a plastic curtain; and by June 25, Mr. Liang finally transferred To the isolation ward.

She asked the doctor to clearly state her husband’s condition, and the doctor issued a second The letter only mentions that Mr. Liang was found to be infected with a drug-resistant E. coli on June 18, and that he was using drugs including Colistin.
It has been a year since her husband passed away. Liang Tai still misses him, sees the things he thinks of, and wept many times during the visit. "Originally, even if you have to use a wheelchair, you will have to take your ventilator with you and you will push them around. Coexist with the disease. And I can go to the Iraqi hospital again at home and return every time I want to go."

Mr. Liang and his wife indicated that they did not want the medical staff to insert his throat and sputum, and he did not want to suffer extreme pain. The nurse said that he had recorded his will. When the nurse was not present, Mr. Liang had sputum for Mr. Liang twice. His blood oxygen level dropped, and he died in the afternoon on July 7. He was 56 years old.

If there are super germs in the Qu Lecture Center, I will immediately (arrange the husband) leave even if I have a bankruptcy!"

The patient's condition has continued to deteriorate, and subsequently suffered from respiratory failure. He died on July 7, and was clinically judged to have died of dermatomyositis and interstitial lung disease.
