        Oh, I was thinking shingles. Which I understand to be incredibly uncomfortable (not sure about a staph infection though it still isn’t pleasant)

          Both conditions are unpleasant, but I had a stronger gut instinct towards staph. It’s possible he has shingles because I suspect he never received the vaccine, and his condition is likely not being adequately cared for.

          He’s probably receiving the same level of treatment as someone on their deathbed, dragged out for press coverage. Your family has to genuinely care about you, or shenanigans ensue.
