It was earlier this month when friends and family say Crystal didn't feel well after getting a growth removed from her leg at Botsford Hospital.
"You can pick up bad bugs in the hospital, and then you might be dealing with kind of a supercharged, super-guerrilla bacteria that is just going to fly through your tissues," said the DMC's Dr. Joel Kahn.
