The mother of the little african american boy in NY is suing for $25mil

Apparently the doctors sent this boy with a "rash" home with some antihistamine/antiitch cream. Dead two days later.
The hospital says "As the family has noted, the patient was treated in the Kings County Hospital emergency room. He presented with non MRSA related conditions and was treated."
Hope mom wins, and that dermatologists are forced to give a full biopsy/culture/lab-workup for ANY RASH OR SKIN COMPLAINT THAT COMES INTO THEIR OFFICE. No more of the dermatologist brushoff... not in this day and age of overpopulation, global travel, global warming, and epidemics.
I personally think Morgellons PR needs to be "riding" this scandal
in the news, and injecting Morgellons into the networks covering it.

NYC Boy Treated For Allergy Before MRSA Death

NEW YORK -- An attorney said 12-year-old Omar Rivera was given allergy medicine at Kings County Hospital and sent home just days before he died from an antibiotic-resistant staph infection.
A hospital spokeswoman said the boy did not show signs of a staph infection when he was treated at Kings County.
Hope Mason said he was brought to the emergency room after midnight on Friday, Oct. 12. He was treated for non-MRSA-related conditions and was released. Mason said the hospital will be examining what more could have been done to detect the infection at that time.
Omar's mother took him to the hospital because she was dissatisfied with the treatment he had received at a clinic, according to her lawyer, Paul Weitz. He said Kings County gave the child Benadryl.
Omar was pronounced dead on Oct. 14 at Brookdale Hospital. City Health Commissioner Thomas Frieden has said it's likely "we will never know exactly where he got this infection."
