Question about Mickey and his doctor (spoiler)**
The doctor gave Mickey some kind of a shot that was supposed to help him with something. Was the shot what gave him that horrible sore on his hip? What was that open sore all about?
shareyeah. at one point in the movie he explains to I think Roger that after he got the shot he had an allergic reaction to it.
shareDang! It looked like a cancerous open sore.
shareIt got so bad because he hid it from the team doctors and everyone else to avoid being sidelined (as he eventually was due to illness/injury). Had he taken care of it right away I don't think it would have become that huge gruesome open looking wound. And who knows that it was even that bad in real life or if that was done for dramatic effect.

It wasn't done for dramatic effect. The doctor who gave him the injection hit the hip bone and it became infected, causing a serious staph infection and an abscess. Mickey tried to play through it which only made it worse. When he finally went into the hospital, surgeons had to cut a deep hole in Mickey's hip to clear out the infected area. It was later revealed that the doctor who was known for his "vitamin" injections was actually injecting a form of speed. Mickey had no idea he was being injected with something other than vitamins.
