HE SAID HE PUT THIS BRACE ON LAST THURSDAY, (B)(6). HE WORE IT ALL DAY AND THEN REMOVED IT THAT NIGHT. EVERYTHING LOOKED FINE. ON THE MORNING OF (B)(6) THE SKIN THAT HAD BEEN COVERED BY THE BRACE HAD WHAT LOOKED LIKE MANY LITTLE MOSQUITO BITES. HE PUT A BENADRYL GEL ON IT BUT IT CONTINUED TO GET WORSE AND DEVELOPED BLISTERS. BY THE MORNING OF (B)(6) THE BLISTERS HAD GROWN TO DIME SIZE AND THERE WAS A STRONG BURNING SENSATION. IT WAS A SATURDAY SO HE WENT FOR MEDICAL HELP. HE FIRST SAID HE WENT TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM, THEN HE SAID, "OR THE HOSPITAL, WHATEVER IT'S CALLED. THIS IS A REAL SMALL TOWN." HE SAW DR (B)(6) AND SHE GAVE HIM A SHOT. HE DOESN'T KNOWN WHAT IT WAS. THEN SHE PRESCRIBED METHYLPREDNISOLONE TABLETS. HE'S BEEN TAKING THOSE FOR CLOSE TO TWO DAYS NOW AND IT'S STARTING TO GET BETTER, ALTHOUGH NOT TOTALLY CLEARED UP YET.
