PF, we hav a a foot doctor that comes in every Tuesday to check the feet of the patients and trim their nails. Due to circulatory problems, my toes nails grow very slowly. So I finally was able to get through to the powers that be, I will let them know when my nails need to be cut. and being a diabetic, I know to keep an eye on the condition of my feet. So....
The last time I went to see her, she was determined to get that nail out of the corner. Now if you heard
Ow, Ow, Ow, Ow, STOP, wouldn't you get the idea you may be hurting the patient and doing something wrong? My toe began bleeding and she had to bandage it. The nursing staff sent me to a foot doctor that they use off site to take a look at it. He had me coming back twice a week for three weeks until it healed. I was unable to wear my shoes during that whole time. I no longer will let her even glance at my feet as I walk by.
And yes, they still use her. She is under contract. But a lot of patients refuse to let her treat them. So they are seen by the off site doctor.
