I have lost all respect towards doctors and all healthcare professionals at this time. I don't even know how to explain what my husband of 40 plus years and I have endured from lack of caring from a podiatrist, who after months of cutting my husband's big toe, knowing full well that my husband has type 2 diabetes. His primary dr. is treating him for his diabetic issues. His glucose levels have been high since last year. The podiatrist said he had to cut the bone in the big toe as I told him that the antibiotics have not responded to my husband's toe and the toe itself doesn't look very good either and is growing in size. Well, after the operation, my husband's toe was very hot to the touch and was swollen and inflamed. This podiatrist almost killed my husband as he saw this dr on dec. 22nd and sent him home with , yes 2 more antibiotics. I saw the toe the next morning and said, that's it, you are either going to the ER by ambulance or our neighbors will give you a ride. I called this joke of a podiatrist and asked him how could he send my husband home with his toe looking like this??? I gave the phone to my husband and this dr said just keep taking the 2 antibiotics and if it doesn't look better in a few days go to the ER. I intervened and packed a bag for my husband. I couldn't go because I was 10 days out from my total right knee replacement and I was suffering with pain with that!!! Upon arriving to the ER, my husband was near death as he had MRSA, and Sepsis, he was in very bad shape and the sepsis was through his bloodstream and was in sepsic shock. We were told by the new Podiatrist that the MRSA has gone into the bone and they will have to amputate his big left toe. Had my husband listened to the former podiatrist, he would be DEAD!!!! I still can't believe how this could be. So, after months of me taking care of his wound after the visiting nurses did the wound vac, my husband's glucose levels remain high and the MRSA , is in his body for the rest of his life, the 2nd toe is doing the same thing and a blood blister on the inside of his 3rd toe is black. His 2nd toe is swollen twice the size of his other ft.s 2nd toe and is purple and has a yellow color around it. The new doctor says everything looks fine!!!! I don't believe him.
