I am very scared and terrified of infection. Is there anything I can take to prepare beforehand and to help me heal quicker afterwards. I have my children to look after and work and can't afford to be dealing with any infection issues so want to prepare beforehand as I have lost all faith in medics :-(

Hi, for both avoiding infection and accelerated healing you need an IV feeding you vitamin C from the moment you get there. If you go to the site DoctorYourself.com and search Vitamin C. You will find the studies of the doctors who pioneered the phenomenal research on vitamin C - which has mostly been swept under the rug.
The problem is they won't give it to you unless you have a doctor who will prescribe it for you before you get there. You might try printing out the info explaining why everyone entering the hospital should be put on Vitamin C to take to your doctor. Maybe he will prescribe it for you. If not, the site I mentioned will explain that and will tell you how to find a doctor who will do that for you. It is a logical fear of infection - as so many get them while in the hospital - and C has remarkable properties of accelerating healing at high doses - which you can get by IV without the problems that occur when taking orally. Good Luck!
