Sometimes patient that walk into the ER might not mention
every detail of how the illness started as in this case that he stepped
into a sea urchin.
If the wound still not healed a simple wound culture to determine the causative
bacteria then followed by culture and sensitivity which shows the kind of antibiotic
the bacteria is sensitive will be initiated to eradicate the bug in his system.
Besides a blood culture if being ordered will also show the bacteria that's already in his blood
causing him to be septic, rounds of antibiotic will be his best bet to get rid of it.
Making a wrong diagnosis of food poisoning had caused him to lost his life
those ER doctors could have done a better job to save this man.
