Are these doctors youve been seeing, GPs or your neurosurgeons, you should be dealing with your neurosurgeon or consultant with any wound infection form your shunt. Right away if you havent seen him/her.

I've gone to both gp and neurosurgeon and both seem to brush me off. In the meen time my neck is swollen and stuff coming out of it but hey it's all in my head. I guess I'll start looking for a better dr.
