The doctor should have tested the sore on the first visit to rule anything out and to see if it was staph, so he could properly treat it.
No, they should not have. Are you an MD? Staph skin infections are rarely deadly in normal healthy adults. I cannot remember the last time I cultured an abscess...maybe a diabetic with Fournier's...but never a young healthy patient with an abscess.

Exactly. But people in this country want EVERYTHING. right now. Right away. With 100% accuracy and never any mistakes.
Everyone is in for a real rude awakening when socialized medicine comes down the pipe. The entitled people in this country are going to shite a brick.

Also, if everyone was responsible for their own healthcare costs and this doctor asked every patient to pay for a culture and expensive antibiotic to treat every butt pimple they would be saying how greedy the doctor is.
Fact is, how an abscess is usually treated works 99.999% of the time. Should we increase our healthcare spending exponentially to never have a story like this?
It’s easy to complain. It’s hard to come up with a good solution?
