DID YOU KNOW failure to order antibiotics upon discharge from the hospital can lead to a dangerous infection? Antibiotics are lifesavers in battling bacterial infections, and their timely administration is crucial. Overlooking the need for antibiotics can lead to dire consequences, including aggravation of infections, prolonged illnesses, amputations, or even death. We had a case where a client with a big cut on his finger got stitches but no antibiotics when he was discharged from the ER. Over the next several days, the client developed a serious staph infection that has been growing inside his finger where the cut was located. The client went back to the ER where the surgical staff had to clean out large amounts of pus. The infection was so severe that the surgeon had to amputate the finger or cut it off from his hand. Failure to prescribe antibiotics at the first ER visit was medical malpractice and totally preventable.
