Re: staph infection
Staph infection is a rare complication of injections including cortisone injections. Unlike surgery, injections are not performed in an entirely sterile field. Were there any complications during the course of the injections or any indication that the environment was compromised (Bloody injection, failure to use gloves, contaminated syringe or work area)?Under these type circumstances and with sufficient damages, a legal claim should be explored.
