In China, surgeons usually take immediate surgery to drain the pus since the pain from abscess is so strong.
3 months ago, I went to a small hosp in Australia, and the doctor did the same thing to me. Drain the abscess the next day after I went to the emergent department.
Right now, my case is responsible by a big hosp since the small one does not have gastro department.
The surgeon in big hosp booked me with a day admission a week later after finding I have another abscess. Oh, my god. Could you image that I have to live with Abscess for a week? After 3 days, I really cannot stay at home and the pain is killing me. Today, I went to emergency department of the big hosp. The triage nurse blames me why not stay at home, taking pain killer and waiting for surgery 3 days later. I really have nothing to say. The emergent doctor said, if I have too much pain, asking GP for a stronger pain killer. If I have fever or shiver, they can give me antibiotics by infusion. Since the abscess is not life threating, there is no way for them to escalate my case to surgery department. What a joke! I feel so lost.
