There's no way they could have known it was a staff infection without a blood test actually, and if you were on antibiotics [and taking them as you should while being sure to take them all as prescribed], then it should have killed it.

It sounds more like you just don't trust anyone to help you, and while researching doctors is all well and good, sometimes you just have to go and hope for the best, if it's something serious. It's also possible that they -did- correctly identify a staff infection, but that you developed something else alongside it.
I took it for four months, if it was going to kill it then it should have done so. No I don't trust people easily, and if it were staph it would have been contagious- funny thing- it wasn't.
