*ouch* Man I hope you are feeling better!
I have my own horror story to tell you about a diabetic relative of mine who went in to have an infected foot looked at. It got infected after a hairline fracture. At the time my relative didn't even know she was diabetic.
The podiatric resident looked at the foot and tried to drain the infected pus by squeezing it out in the E.R.
Turns out the resident made it worse, and my relative almost lost her foot because of that screwup!
Needless to say, she is much more careful with anything that can lead to a major infection - even a little scratch.
