I'm hoping I can get some advice. I work in an inpatient mental health facility, and today I got a call from a coworker informing me that one of our clients had admitted to using drugs with a friend who is diagnosed with MRSA. Since returning to our facility he's been reporting pain and redness in an open wound on his leg…
I have severe health anxiety and I am terrified to go to work tomorrow. Our supervisor has been informed but he doesn't want to take any action without official direction from the higher-ups. He's “waiting to hear from them” but what if they brush it off too? If this person is infected, neither staff nor clients are safe from catching it. What do I do??
