I have walked on two non-joined fractures, one in my fibula and one in my tarsus, since 2001. It took me four years to convince the doctor something was wrong after the initial finding of a broken tibia, They finally found out my Achilles tendon was badly torn when an MRI was done. It was too late for help by 2005 because by then the bones had become necrotic.

If I had had insurance things would have been so much different.

I read 'The Coming Plagues" in the early 1990's and it terrified me. I've had infections that have taken two and three antibiotics to clear up. People just don't understand have serious the resistant bacteria problem is now. Sadly, they will in the coming years.

Sorry you've had such a bad year.
