Hello,
Thank you for your query at DoctorSpring.com
I have read your complaints with diligence .
It looks like you are suffering from infection since last long time.
From your history, you seem to have chronic osteomyelitis of leg bones.
The infection related factors can be divided in two parts : one is patient factors like low immunity,diabetes,open nature of injury at first instance & others.Other factors are hospital acquired infections, which is due improper sanitary measures applied in the hospitals
It looks in your case that at first instance you were having open wound with fracture.
Such cases have major tendency for infection even after best possible treatment. It is difficult to predict whether it is due to the fracture itself or because of lack of sanitation at the hospital since E. Fecalis is associated with poor hygiene and sanitation.
It does not seem like the doctor has done anything wrong. Even the prevalence of HAIs are going up and infections are getting resistant.
Please feel free to discuss further,
Hope this all will help you.
