Do you believe it is safe to leave dead in a person's body. Fluid and pus were removed and antibiotic was prescribed. It just makes me nervous that the Dr didn't remove the dead tissue.

It's completely understandable to feel concerned about treatment decisions, especially when dealing with an infection. Each medical situation is unique, and healthcare providers make decisions based on many factors that may not always be immediately clear to patients. Consider reaching out to your care team to discuss your concerns and ask questions about their treatment approach - they can provide specific information about your situation and help address any worries you have about the healing process.
