question: I have a hernia that streched from about between my breast down thru my abdominal. I have pain in my chest. My doctor ran a blood test and said I have a bacterial infection. She prescribed medication and is setting up an appoint for a surgeon. She said if the medshelp then cancel the surgeon appoint. The meds she prescribed was $430.00. OUCH!!!!! anyhow, I am curious, how dangerous is the bacterial infection? is it contagious? whats the worse that can happen I guess is my question? Thanks.
