If there is a chance there is MRSA, a very simple lance and culture answers that in 24 hours. Why would any good doctor not do it? There are reasons, weak ones. If I was a lazy guesser, I’d guess that is not MRSA. Im not freaking out to much as im not getting the stronger pain that they associate with it… Ill find out today my results for lyme should be in > [@Bubble Magic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/bubble-magic/21599/2): > > Truth. My doctor wanted to start putting me on antibiotics and then come back in a week to see if it had cleared up and then he would check me for MRSA. I’m like all it takes is 2 seconds to swab it and send it out for a test right? Let’s kill 2 birds with one stone and test it now and put me on antibiotics for what you may think it is. He in turn was right with his prognosis and it didn’t turn out to be MRSA. Yeah my doc kinda pissed me off he came in… grilled me and gave me that shit about how am i sure it was a tick bla bla bla… Said yup okay looks like ill treat you for lyme… he only was in there maybe 3 minutes total… I was thinking from a previous thread that doesnt it only take a quick swab on the ER’s doc/nurses end to make sure it is in fact mrsa or not? Kinda stupid really not to just do both if the doc thinks it could be either. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/lyme-disease-or-mrsa/246046)._
