Morning, we are going to draw repeat blood cultures, one from your PICC line and another from your arm. We need to determine if the line is causing your infection.
Hi Doctor, Do you know why I keep getting fevers?

Of course, I understand your concerns. Feel free to let me know anything. I am here to help you get better. Don't be afraid to speak up regarding your care and I will speak with our supervisor regarding your concerns.
I'm worried, the doctor said they drew blood to determine if my line is causing my fevers. Can I tell you something? The nurse the previous night did not clean my line before using it and forgot to flush my line. I was scared to say anything.

Doctor! You are saying I caught this infection in the hospital, and my line has to be removed! This is UNACCEPTABLE. My wife came here to get help, but now she has to stay longer and get stuck again.
Afternoon, your blood cultures came back positive for a bacteria in your line. Which means it would need to be removed. We will consult the infectious disease doctor and start you on a different antibiotic. I understand your concerns and will speak with the nursing staff regarding infection control.
