Misdiagnosis/Mistreatment... Surgically Cut, Now Life Threatening Infections

I'm diabetic. ER dr(s) misdiagnosed and mistreated me for afflictions other than a serious infection 4/30/06. I'm still living with the results of their misdiagnosis and mistreatment.

I was treated for what he called a Bartholin Cyst, which he tried to cut out of my left labia. After cutting, 4 times feeling his knife slice through un-numbed tissue, he stated he was �over his head.� Changed diagnosis to a Tumor. He called in OB/GYN who cut deep within the 1st dr�s incision. They both tried to treat me in the ER by surgically removing a non existent cyst/tumor. I was discharged with an open bleeding wound, and without a clear diagnosis. No lab cultures were done. The pain of their procedures is insurmountable!

Five days later another doctor did a culture: pathogenic bacteria Pseudomonas/Staphylococcus Aureus. Three specialist

later concur if there had been a Bartholin Cyst the ER doctor cut me in the wrong anatomical place for his misdiagnosis.

I am infected. Still in treatment with Infectious Disease specialists for Staph infection which has progressed to MRSA, with C-diff. Still having pain in incision, labia and groin area, tearing sensations within incision site, non reducing labial swelling, and disfigurement.
