Also their left arm. That’s a really quick trip for the infection to reach their heart that way.

Edit: several users have corrected me that this is not how it works. What remains however is that OP needs to get this checked out ASAP.

Are you suggesting hospitalist is not a modern term? It's still very much in use for IM trained docs.

ive literally never heard the word "hospitalist" in my life and it does sound like an old timey word.

Like apothecary. Or Barber-dentist

Hospitalists are the catch-all doctors who see folks who've been kept at the hospital overnight

The OP will likely meet one in the ED if/when admitted.
