Mik, I'm so sorry to hear about your situation, I hope you continue to improve to get to fully healed!


As to Mark's comments about these medical care issues making you hate this country, I totally get it! Whenever we have had to deal with more serious problems, I always think "what the hell are we doing here? We should have stayed in Japan"

We learned the hard way to outline skin and tissue issues w a laundry marker ASAP. Being seen over 3 days in ER w 3 diff Dr, they did not accept our evaluation of the infections spread until we did the outline and 2 hours later the site exceeded the outline. OT was in hospital for 10 days and out of work for months as a result of the delay.
When they say follow up w your PCP, I always thought that was redundant but we should have, the very next am after the first ER visit.
