I had an episode of left sided pain and was put on a broad spectum antibiotic by my GP (previously dx with diverticulosis 6 months prior). I was
nursing in a hospice and there was a huge outbreak of c diff at the local hospital and there were patients being transferred to us so that is thought where I got c diff. I was admitted to the emergency dept with high temp, WCC 19,000, severe generalised abdo pain, vomiting and explosive, offensive diarrhoea.
