General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello, i am very sorry to hear this. why for a foot sore he is thinking in that way.You talk to him. First ask him to go to another doctor if he is not getting confidence in present one. As the sore is taking long time to heal, first thing i am doubtful is about his blood glucose level to rule out diabetes. If this comes normal , then check for the antibiotic susceptibility.This can be confirmed buy culture sensitivity. By these tests and proper treatement that sore will heal completely. Take care of your friend.
