You should probably learn more about standard of care before making statements like these...
The lady came to the doctor for an abscess with likely mild surrounding cellulitis (we see this every day in the ER). The standard of care is incision and drainage or warm compresses if the doctor feels like it will burst on its own +/- antibiotics. Now, unless the lady was septic and near death when he saw her, then he did not commit malpractice and was not lazy.
