Cellulitis in my leg [View all]
This has been going on for a month - 3rd time I've had this problem. After 3 rounds of antibiotics, I want to an infectious disease doc. Just what I wanted to do in these times of infectious disease, right? Haha.
I have been to my family doc for several visits, she referred me to a podiatrist, who referred me to a vascular surgeon (I have heart issues, too), back to my family doc, who referred me to an infectious disease doc.
Fast forward to today. Back from the doctor. My leg is worse now after 4 infusions of super-duper antibiotics ($200). Frankly, I don't think he knew what to do. Another genius doctor. He did a blood test to see if it's a blood clot. He told me to wrap it in an ace bandage, elevate my leg, and double the dose of my diuretic, and come back on April 3rd. WTF?? Is it just me, or are doctors just totally clueless? He is an infectious disease doc, for god's sake, and he is passive as shit, kind of followed my lead. So fuck it. I'm done with the leg until and if I need to be hospitalized. Now is just NOT he time to be dealing with this bullshit.
I am totally frustrated. Now is not the time to be hanging out in waiting rooms of doctors' offices.
What will be, will be. But I am totally blown away at the ineptitude of these doctors. Where is Dr. House when you need him?
