Patient presented to the insured with complaints of painful varicose veins and was initially treated conservatively. Patient subsequently requested surgery, which was performed bilaterally over multiple dates. Initially, patient did well; however, as of 08-31-15, she began complaining of left leg pain and redness and subsequently developed an abscess of the lower, left leg at which time insured immediately referred her to a dermatologist. Patient returned to insured on 09-08-15 with some improvement with the use of antibiotics; however, she eventually developed necrosis of the area, and insured referred her to a plastic surgeon. Patient claims she developed necrosis of the wound and the return of varicose veins and alleges insured failed to properly diagnose and treat the infection. | |||||
