Registered Nurse here; Well I dislike the sound of my own advice.  However if your condition is truly a result of blood being drawn, you best avenue is to SUE, this is malpractice, and people in health care must be held accountable when they make mistakes.  As for the physician, he or she should not try to avoid the error and should address it with you open and honestly.  You should not have to pay for any of your surgeries related to this error, nor should your insurance company.  I strongly advise you to seek an attorney that specializes in malpractice.  Also you may want to consider getting another physician, if you feel they are not treating you with dignity, respect and cognitive of care that your entitled to.

thnx for answering my question, but did you get your cat declawed? why? it is inhumane and cuts the tip of their fingers off. it does no good for the kitty and only benefits the human.

This happened to me after my c-section.  GO TO THE DOCTOR!  you might have to pack the wound DAILY! (putting gauze in side it)  keep it clean ... it will stink.. and take a long time to heal... it has to heal from the inside out. But go the doctor to get some antibiotics*.

let your body heal, don't do any exercise until your doctor gives you the okay.  If you work out and rip a suture you can put yourself in a world of pain and trouble.  Open wounds get infected real fast, they can lead to infection and depending on what was operated on you could permanently damage muscle.

munch away, it's just your own dried blood.  But, be sure to put some antibacterial ointment on the wound and a bandage, it will heal faster if it is covered.

Do you have any white t-shirts? or even white undergarments, cloth? Don't use papertowels or anything that will shred like tissue. Cut the white cloth into strips and wrap the toe snugly (not tight). Elevate the leg on a couple of pillows to slow the bleeding until morning. Your open wound will not rot. Just make sure to keep it clean.

If it was a deep cut.. Yes it's still going to bleed until it seals.  Just keep it wraped up and clean it off once in a while.. If it falls off you know it's infected.

you can't, surgery is the only option. also its important you get it re-done, by open procedure this time, or it may strangulate.

Sweetie, you need to run to the emergency room and fast. One of your stitches could have came loose. You could bleed to death, you are not suppose to go through those many pads.

I'm a Registered Nurse, and I have worked with seriously injured people. You need a CAT Scan.  You may have a subdural hematoma. This can be very serious, and life-threatening unless it is treated.  Go to a neurologist.  If it happens at night, go to the emergency room.  Have some drive you.  Let me know how you make out.

cover with a bandage, and neosporin.  It will heal in about 4 days

Use ice to cool it down and stop the bleeding. As long as it's inflamed it will bleed.

you can go to the doctors or just wait to its bursts yourself if you go to the doctors they are only going to cut it open and drain the pus out so its up to you weather or not you can put up with it until it pops itself or be strong and squeeze the shit out of it i know from experience the suckers hurt like hell
