Guest guest Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 I sure can echo your feelings! I have a large hole in my foot because the emergency room people would not listen to me. I had a sprained ankle and actually saw my leg being bit by a spider. There was blood there for a bit, and even now there is a lump where the toxin was left. My leg is still swollen and swells with agonizing pain. To make things better -- the hole the left in my foot did not gush the poison they thought it would. LOL, nothing happened. But, it didn't heal and I have had a skin graft which doesn't seem to have helped at all. I had one horrible Podiatrist who made me sign an agreement that if I didn't go to the hospital, she would NOT be responsible if I lost my toes, foot or leg. Excuse me, but when you start talking about cutting off a persons leg -- you should have a therapist, a family member and a second opinion doc. Originally, I had the rule No Podiatrists (I'm met some lunatics) and no hospitals (too risky) and I didn't want to risk infection. So, -- I totally agree! And, I was not given any extra pain meds after the skin graft.I have been in what they consider pain level 8 or 9 . Just can lay in bed some times. Hope things get better for you!!!!! > Some may remember me and some may not, but I have been a member for several years.
