Issue the issue legal malpractice? Medical Malpractice? And what state is extremely important. This area is outside of my wheelhouse, but I generally figure most legal issues out, to refresh your recollection I am DUI/BUI, Criminal, Traffic, Juvenile Mattersand some family Court issues,

I cannot give you good leagl advice in that area of law for an Ohio matter, I do have classroom experience in that area of law but that was 15 years ago in law school. I really cannot help answer your legal questions with a solid answer, sorry.

Most commonly, abscesses most commonly occur in imuno-comprimised patients.
The standard of care of making an accurate medical diagnosis maybe easy to dissect “retrospectively”, but in reality medical decisions by physicians occur prospectively.
In most states, it will be a challenge to have a nurse become a qualified expert against a physician ultimately responsible for the patients well being.
In the USA all hospitals, have peer review committees to that can efficiently evaluate accusations from any other allied providers in a medical institution.
Good luck

As a nurse, I assume that you are aware hospital acquired post op infections are multi factorial, and rarely have a single identifiable cause.

It sucks but doctors are not held to a very high standard of care. Doctors can be negligent and not be sued. You have to prove gross negligence to have a chance of recovery in a suit. It's almost an unwritten rule that quality doctors will not testify against another doctor. It's fact that in most states there is a cap on recovery for medical malpractice. And in the majority cases the suit will cost more then the recovery amount. Don't believe what you hear about sky rocketing premiums because of frivolous lawsuits. Doctors and insurance companies have legislative out almost all responsibility for there actions. This is not second hand information i have been there and it was a rude awakening to the real world of doctors and malpractice. Good luck with you health.
