I think you’re very fortunate to not have known anyone who has had to make that calculation.

There is no calculation to make. If you have an untreated MRSA infection, you will die. Now whether the treatment can be overly prosecuted is a different question.

You can set a broken bone yourself. You cannot treat MRSA. You do not walk out of a hospital with untreated MRSA AMA.
