We went to the emergency room following a sharp pain with a slight edema of the left upper limb of my partner Toscano Giovanna ... It was 11 p.m. and she was finally taken care of at 3:15 a.m. by a young intern who posed a completely wrong diagnosis.

After explaining to her that she had had a small wound near the wrist a week earlier, the arm had become very painful since the early evening. (We are in the field of lymphedema problem of the lower limbs that my partner has clearly specified).

I suspected at least a superficial phlebitis and he, he simply concluded that it had absolutely nothing and that a few dafalgans would be enough to solve the problem.

Faced with this more than doubtful diagnosis and the increase in pain, she went to see her doctor today. He directly found the reason for the condition: lymphangitis.
The emergency blood test revealed a bacterial streptococcal infection that entered via the wound into lymphedema.
Fortunately the infection has not yet passed into the circulatory system, which could have led to sepsis.

I am outraged by the lightness and incompetence of this young intern who takes pleasure in his certainties as a medical doctor, which seems to give him the right to treat his patient like a mythomaniac and to ignore absolutely nothing symptoms and insistence that led her to come to the emergency room for the first time in her life to be treated.

Too bad that zero rating is not possible

A huge thank you to the general practitioner for the relevance, the foresight, the listening which enabled him to make the right diagnosis directly.
