Sorry for your situation but sometimes less is better, sometimes getting more data before deciding on therapy is better. Obviously bedside manner makes a difference and it was lacking locally. But you had two weeks on a very powerful oral antibiotic. It was not unreasonable to consider imaging to get further information on why your leg was so swollen before changing your therapy. I am writing in generalities, not knowing how your leg looked, what your temperature might be, swollen glands, underlying disorders or a host of other considerations in your specific situation. I just wish to say that the most aggressive treatment is not always, or even not often, the best treatment. Speedy recovery..
