If you actually do have a encapsulated (non-draining) infection of the foot, and you've made this clearly known to a doctor, I can not conceive of any physician or podiatrist ANYWHERE . . . under ANY circumstance who would not see you immediately if not sooner.
Unless your assessment of the situation is WAY off, you're playing with disaster by waiting 19 days or even one day to have your situation see and taken care of. If nothing else, go DIRECTLY to a hospital emergency room TONIGHT! Do not pass "Go" and do not collect $200.
