Deadly Iatrogenic Infections When Doctors Prescribe your Death by mistake.
Preoperative Antibiotics Linked To Pseudomembranous Colitis
Recently, I have learn that some penicillins, fluoroquinolones, lincosamides as in clindamycin, and cephalosporins can lead to Pseudomembranous Colitis, or PMC. According to the Mayo Clinic website, PMC has been directly linked to the preoperative antibiotics.
It is not uncommon for surgical-medical practitioners to prescribe antibiotics such as cephalosporins and clindamycin (and other antibiotics as listed above) before a surgical procedure, as a standardize precaution to help fight off more serious medical postoperative infections. However, what is being discovered is that in some patients, who after taking these listed medications, develop severe, offensive smelling diarrhea, fever and extreme abdominal pain. This iatrogenic infection (literally meaning; *a physician produced disease) of the colon (large intestine) can be fatal if untreated.
PMC infections are caused when doctor-prescribed, antibiotics begin disturbing the homeostasis bacterial balance within the colon. Potent toxins are released when these bacteria become numerous, causing inflammation of your colon. By which, these antibiotics begin to aid in the colonization and growth of Clostridium difficile bacterium. Illness from C. difficile are most common in older adults in hospitals, and/or in long term care facilities. In addition, people suffering with cancer, and currently under chemotherapy treatments can also trigger the development of pseudomembranous colitis.

Oh my gosh what a scary ordeal! Glad it all worked out okay.
I will stick to some Colloidal Silver seems to work on most things.
Interesting info on your hub though
terrific information. thanks for a great hub. nicely formatted and put together.
Thanks!
Hoo, what's Colloidal Silver?
Sm, thank you so much for your compliment.
Anything that causes "offensive smelling diarrhea" is definitely something I want to avoid! Thanks for the warning - now I'm certain I never want to be operated on. Later!
Julie, so many things are done by physicians to avoid lawsuit. They are so vulnerable if something goes wrong. If everything goes right, no problem. (Usually, but then again...) But so many things can go wrong with individuals and so many ways to make the doctor pay that they become overcautious and don't make best decisions for the patient but they can say, "look I took precautions."
I agreed to a point. Thanks Bob. Ooo's
Very interesting - I need to have antibiotics before any dental work to prevent an infection in my heart as I have a heart condition. Normally I just take high doses of amoxicillon (sp?) but I'll be sure to be wary of taking any other kinds of antibiotics pre-dental work or surgery.
I would think if you haven't had any troubles, you should be fine. But it is always good to be alert. Thanks for commenting.

Wow, that is scary! I was given antibiotics during my last child birth and then they put another dosage in IV the next morning before my Tubal Ligation. That is actually what my IV was for, I didn't have any pain relief during the delivery. The Dr was worried because a cardiologist diagnosed me with Mitral Valve Prolapse and so he gave me antibiotic the antibiotic as a precaution. Fortunately all went ok for me.
