Eventually he was referred to an orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Craig Williams, at Illinois Bone &amp; Joint Institute in Morton Grove.He first complained of an infectious process in his hand on August 23, 2004.One week later, Dr. Williams gave Hebel a steroid injection.The injection, however, caused the infection to worsen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">In this lawsuit, Hebel contended that the steroid injection was contraindicated by the underlying infection. Dr. Williams referred Hebel to Dr. Robert Citronberg for infectious disease management. Drs. Williams and Citronberg became co-treating physicians. Sometimes infections like this require antibiotic treatment and\/or surgical involvement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">On November 9, 2004, Dr. Williams performed an incision and drainage procedure. Specimens from the surgery were sent for study and cultures. The pathology results were sent to both physicians, but the culture results were sent only to Dr. Williams and never sent to Dr. Citronberg.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.robertkreisman.com\/medical-malpractice-lawyer\/215000-cook-county-jury-verdict-for-delayed-diagnosis-and-treatment-of-hand-infection-hebel-v-illinois-bone-joint-institute-llc\/#more-945\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 Fifty-year-old Dan Hebel suffered a rope burn while on a fishing trip in August 2004.
