SOS : pieds en détresse

Here another medical show has broken thru this time "TLC's" "My Feet Are Killing Me" and it's interesting and informative on conditions and medical matters of the feet as two podiatrist surgeons operate on folks feet from everywhere it features rashes, skin conditions, growths, enlarged feet and bone and heel spurs it's really somewhat gross and gory to view still it's a fun watch to see patients getting help and relieve from pain and discomfort!

The show is interesting and we see some people in terrible pain helped often after many years of pain which is good , but also I have noticed many of the problems are likely linked to the size of some of the patients. Many are obese some morbidly obese and putting 2-3 times a normal weight through your feet and ankles/ knees will clearly cause problems and pain long term. Many of the patients wouldn't get the surgery in the U. K. until they lost weight but I guess as they are paying for it directly in the USA it's just done without any guidance on how reducing weight might aid them long term. I guess with some it's chicken and egg if they have problems they can't exercise or walk far from pain so put on weight. Although if you know that why not check your calorie intake and monitor or reduce weight that way. Without losing a lot of weight many will just get further foot and ankle problems later on and the merry go round of surgery starts again.

Interesting show! Cannot believe people take so long to care for their feet. Also very informative by the two foot surgeons

I can't believe "Dr. Brad" was wearing a cloth mask during covid instead of a surgical mask. Weird. The patients were wearing surgical masks. He also wasn't wearing gloves when he was examining people's feet. Dr. Ebonie seems like the best "doctor" out of the bunch. I keep wondering whatever made these people want to be podiatrists. I've never seen such gross and disgusting feet in my life.

Interesting to watch, especially when you have foot problems AND like to watch operations. Dr. Haller really is as sweet as she is on the show. I made an appointment with her after seeing a procedure on the show that I thought would help me. Turned out the procedure wasn't right for me, but I had her cut my ingrown toenails. She did it in the office, unlike my local doctor who wanted to do surgery. But the takeaway is Dr. Haller is very sweet and caring in real life, not just an act for the show.
