Day 5 6 9 and 10

I'm in the medical field and I'm a paramedic of 13 years and work in 2 emergency rooms part time. This is an extreme case for this particular guy not getting treated in time. If he would have noticed his thumb swelling and getting hard from all of the tissue necrosis(rot) and purulence(puss) inside and gone to the hospital in the early days, say 2-3 days, a doctor would have lanced it(cut) with a scalpel, drained it and injected it with an antibiotic. Trust me, 90% of the cases that go to the hospital in time only go so far as to look as this guys hand did on day 5. Most people will go to the hospital by then from all of the pain and itching.
