Definitely looks infected to me. Hope the doc sees you soon!

Still no call back today. I called them 3 times too and they told me they would. I'm kinda pissed.

If it's getting worse, go to an urgent care clinic. Then write to your doc and tell him he's fired. What a jerk!

I second that - time for the walk-in clinic.
As to your Dr, do you like this office or group of doctors? If you do, I'd tell them that there is a communication problem. Otherwise tell them they are history - that is always supposing there's another office you can go to!
Good luck - I hope this gets sorted soon.

My endo group has good doctors, but their stuff is awful. There aren't a lot of good other options.

Walk in clinic is too expensive on my insurance.

I'll try getting in touch with GP tomorrow.

Endo called and they wouldn't prescribe antibiotics- said my GP should be doing that. So my GP did it. I can't believe it took them 3 days to call to tell me they won't do it. *sigh*
