Male, 21 year old heroin addict, broke needle 1/2 long into arm on march 9th. Went to emergency room because needle site was sore. Ultra sound showed no needle located at injection site. Blood test showed: Elevated glucose level, positive inflammation, hemoglobin and blood plates all tested low. Also echocardiogram showed no endocarsitis, chest x-ray was clear. Also had rash on neck, back, and torso along with a temp of 103.5 Any ideas or information, suggestions, next steps that should take you could give me would be appreciated. Have dr.s appointment tomorrow, if there any questions I should ask the dr. on my visit, I would appreciate if you could inform me of what they would be.
So much for that, sorry you wont help me because I don't have a credit card, so much for Hippocratic oath you took, money talks, illness walks......hope you feel good about that. -His worried mother- hope you don't have children
