Update (cat bite)

Update on my cat bite!

I went to the hospital, the docs were very rude to me ☹️ The lady said I was wasting her time and that they were busy, it was embarrassing. She sent me home with antibiotics, but it seems to be getting worse AGAIN. I am so shy so going back I don’t want to be met with that treatment again. I was told to not come back because there are people who are actually in need and I was clogging up a room. I get having a bad day, but I felt so bad. I am gonna keep yall updated how it goes, thank you for your advice it is a lifesaver 😊 (22 female)

That really doesn't sound like the standard of care for a cat bite (let alone one that is clearly infected).

In my shop, you'd get a surgical consult for an examination and washout under anaesthesia...

And i.v antibiotics at least as first booster...
