Having lost one of my best friends, Larry Brickman, to bacterial meningitis nearly seven years ago, this current outbreak is bringing back many bad memories. Larry was neither HIV-positive nor using contaminated preservative-free methylprednisolone acetate, but I urge everyone to read up and see a doctor at the first sign of symptoms. If he had had even the slightest hint that his "flu" was something else, this whole nightmare might have been avoided.
