Thank you for the reply ! I think the reason it says "rare" is because it says "rare staphylococcus aureus negative coagulase" which from what I've seen is a type of that bacteria that typically lives on one's skin and is harmless but if somehow gotten into the body, can be dangerous and cause infection since it doesn't belong there. Now I'm not really sure my family doctor understood those results. She told me that bacteria is not dangerous. She also acted as if it saying "negative" means everything's fine ? She said "well the test came up negative for staphylococcus aureus". When actually it's just a different kind of staphylococcus aureus. On the test it literally even has a chart of what antibiotics would work best and what would be more resistant.
I do have some hope because I have an annual check up with my hematologist on Nov. 14 and she is one of the only doctors I have that I feel like actually listens. My mom goes to her and tested her B12 for her since my family doctor told her "it wasn't necessary". Turned out she was extremely low in vitamin B12 yet my family doctor didn't think it was necessary to check even though we have a family history of low B12. If you ask my hematologist to do a test though, she says "well it never hurts to check". Hope she will give me her opinion on all this and possibly order some tests that my other doctors won't.
Thanks again for the reply and I will update if I find anything out. x
