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.
