Christa,

If you are having an infection, you need to have an antibiotic and Doctors do

not do surgery when people have infections. The lady that answers the phone is

not supposed to prescribe or do what the Doctor does.

If they will not get you in to see you immediately, call the local ER and state

you are scheduled for surgery and the lady that answers the phone will not let

you speak to the Doctor. I have never in my whole life heard of someone stating

this. You need to be evaluated, Christa. Bennie
