But at least that needed to be said. After he died the internet and fan groups were awash with unfounded allegations that he died of a hospital acquired infection. That he soiled the sheets? That was needed to be said? Fucking hell, we'll be "needing" to know the girth of his belly button next. It shouldn't have been said, shouldn't have been printed. End of! Can you read? My reply was to madtom's post. "infection from a cut finger"

Can you read? My reply was to madtom's post. "infection from a cut finger" Point still stands. The "soiling the sheets" bit should not have been printed or said. Likewise the whole "Patty" thing. Both needless things to say and full of bitterness. And here's me thinking Alan and Francis were bad

So basically I should say nothing then and pretend everything is perfectly OK regarding it? I'm not the one who went to a national newspaper and went to town on Rick. If it sticks in people's minds, you gonna blame me for that?

Funny I didn't take it like that, I guess I could be being naive, but the expression "soiled sheets" in medicine can easily just mean sheets which are no longer clean ... I'm not disagreeing, but I just didn't cross my mind to see it like that.
Mind you that doesn't sound like great housekeeping, either, does it.
It may also not be the case, either. You don't need to "come into contact" with anything much to get NF if you are in poor health, you can get it from your on -board bacteria, and just not being very careful with the wound can bring it on; just a warm muggy environment can make it worse. My dad got it from a stubbed toe (ie damaged his toenail), and he didn't take it to the doctor when it started to go red ... he was very lucky, he was elderly but fit and survived, but I am reasonably sure it contributed to his death not many years late (and not many years older than Rick was).
Just for completeness, I was reading about this again yesterday, and the article said that sufferers should stay away from pools, hot tubs, etc (which we know can harbour infection if not cleaned well) but also natural water. It did not explain why - I have no idea. But I know my dad almost certainly "got" the infection at the swimming pool where he hurt his toe. I seem to recall Rick was a keen pool user.
But basically he was just a very sick man.

But basically he was just a very sick man. All "natural" water has things in it. Even in the UK there is stuff - limescale, as for "natural" water in some parts of Africa/Asia even in "well developed" countries you are quite likely to suffer from upset stomachs - due to the water. Our systems are accustomed to our own water but different water (even if considered fully safe to drink) can cause problems I we've all be warned to remember to we salad in some countries because it will have been washed in the local water. Fit and healthy people will likely suffer no long term effects, unless the local "natural" contains things - viruses etc

Tell me about it! The minute we moved out of east London, we stopped getting "gastric flu" once or twice a year. Limescale is the stuff that is good for you "in small doses." A friend of mine in Harrow caught something really nasty from the local water supply about 20 years ago. (Nasty enough to be in the newspapers. The reservoir, not my friend.)

You were unlucky in that rest, Mrs F. I've lived in E London for 10 years now and never had gastric flu. Mind you I don't enjoy keeping the limescale out of my plumbing/sinks etc... Drives me nuts because it builds up so fast. And the air pollution is probably doing me more damage. I think we might be on a par with China.
