Asked By:wendizub

I have a very lengthy history of staph infections and was very specific about my ongoing concerns with the wound on my left breast. Each time I was told, "Dr .... is a wound expert and has a wound clinic in San Diego" so you have nothing to worry about. Multiple calls, photos, appointments and I was brushed off. Finally i was seen by my dermatologist for a different issue when she noticed leakage through my bra. Needless to say i have an infection. I dont trust this PS. What now?
