Has anybody had a doctor lie to cover a mistake?
Watch this postHi I have got a large open wound to my right leg as a result of a doctor giving a wrong injection that gave me compartment syndrome at first I thought I was just unlucky the problem is that was 10 years ago and about 30 operations but the wound will not heal i am now a carrier of MRSA another thing is my medical records got mixed up with someone with the same name then to top that the doctor accused me of preventing the wound from healing no doctor looks at the wound any more when I get the wound infected I phone the GP he then just gives me antibiotics without even seeing me my leg is now so painful I just don't know what to do next has anybody had the same or similar problem?

good luck
Incidentally, Ginntonic isn't completely correct, MRSA also occurs in private hospitals but they often then transfer you to an NHS hospital for treatment of the MRSA.
Good luck and hope this has helped.
Trust is hard to find' even when I go to my GP they just give me antibiotics but i have been given so many in hospital most have run there time and now just don't work.
At this moment i have yet another infection that makes it almost impossible to walk let alone do anything that i thought at this age i had contemplated doing is just filled with despair and isolation so i am sorry for being negative and I will stop bothering people,
Thank's for the time that members had taken.
But things are not very good at the moment and I find it hard to have the stamina to talk so at this point in time I will go through this infection and hope that MRSA is not present as I have got it 5 times and i have to carry a card to show incase of a accident and they say i can pass it to other people.
Big joke is I caught it in hospital.
