I like them in that they do the same work day after day. I had a toenail that was going to be removed by my GP. He laid out all of the instruments then chickened out at the last minute. My podiatrist "got it done" quickly and without any hesitation.

Well I am down for a while they did the surgery yesterday. I've had 2 surgeries on my right foot this was the left. It was a little more involved. I got around fine on crutches last time but I have a little more difficulty today. My wife ordered a knee scooter .

Eek! Is this for bunions or something? My feet have been hurting lately, and I'm beginning to think I need to shift my FSA spending from top (teeth) to bottom (feet).

Bunions with complications from gout/arthritis. I didn't know that you could get bunions of the little toe side until I started seeing the podiatrist. Definitely cutting into my riding this spring

I'm sorry , but every time I hear of a Podiatrist I think of this joke. Shamelessly stolen from an NPR Podcast.
A moth enters a Podiatrist's office one evening. Podiatrist asks how he can be of service. Moth begins a diatribe about how miserable his life is. "I hate my job, been there for 15 years, the boss treats me like vermin, gives me the most menial of assignments, haven't had a raise in 5 years, new hires bypass for promotions. I'm so unhappy."
The Podiatrist offers sympathy but asks if there's anything he can help with. Moth replies " And then I go home to a wife that's been watching daytime tv all afternoon, drinking wine and is unhappy with me for doing nothing around the house, as if I've the time. So, I do some laundry, cook dinner and clean up afterwards. No matter how hard I try she's unhappy with me. I lay in bed next to her and know that I no longer love her and wonder why I stay."
Podiatrist replies that he is a foot Dr. and is there anything foot related he can help with. Moth goes on "I get up and make breakfast for my teenagers who won't even talk to me. Their faces are in their phones, they make fun of my clothes and are so ungrateful, my life is horrible."
Podiatrist is tiring of this and explains that the moths problems are better told to a Therapist or a Psychiatrist and rather bluntly asks "Why did you come here?"
The moth, a bit incredulous replies "well, the light was on!"
