In November *, i visited my primary care provider (PCP) with complaints of chills, tonsil stones, headaches, nausea, sore throat (which improved), and fatigue. My symptoms persisted, and on November *, you went to the ER due to severe chills, uncontrollable shaking, and fatigue, along with worsening headaches. The ER diagnosed me with perichondritis and Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SIRS), after which my ear piercing was removed, providing some relief. I was discharged after two days in the hospital, with two negative blood cultures and a *-day course of antibiotics.

Medical malpractice
I'm sorry to hear about your experience. Medical malpractice claims can be complex. Here are key points to consider:

Five days later, after receiving a Remicade dose for my Crohn’s disease, i contracted COVID-* and experienced abscesses multiple times. Blood work showed high ESR and platelets, which raised some concern, as my platelets typically run high, but the elevated ESR without an active flare was unusual. On the last day of your antibiotics (November *), my symptoms returned, and I was admitted to the hospital again. The ER initially planned to send me home with more antibiotics, but my GI doctor intervened, and I was admitted for further testing, leading to a diagnosis of endocarditis. I also developed a septic pulmonary embolism and pleural effusion, which caused severe pain, requiring narcotics, and respiratory and physical therapy.
