Meh, the "flesh eating disease" is not as super rare as the media generally makes it out to be. And they always make it sound like its some solitary, super rare mutant bacteria, when in truth it can be caused by a number of common organisms, some of which live right on your skin or in your nose, and never causing any trouble. The line about "a rare and fast spreading bacteria infected with a virus" is case in point.

It sucks what happend to this girl, and retrospectively we can say she was discharged prematurely. But keep in mind that getting the boot after 2 days is the norm, and having pain in those regions should be expected given that she just gave birth. 99.99% of the time this is not attack of the flesh eating bacteria.
