What is the most common question people ask when they discover you are a Podiatrist or Podiatry student?

One of my most asked is "What is the best way to cut my toenails". What about the rest of you guyz/galz?

jes 😱

just ask them what size bunions they have then they dont know what to say, and make them tell you in metric units. 😛

When I was in school, I got...

"My feet hurt here, what do you think it is?" and "My toenails are yellow and thick, do you think I have a fungus?"

I still get some questions to this day that deal primarily with plantar fasciitis.

how about "how can you stand stincky feet all day". i tell them that the feet are about the cleanest part of the body to specialize in. if they dont believe me i tell them to compare feet to any part of the body that contains a hole. especially a hole with hair around it.

On the patient registration form, about once a month someone will write as their chief complaint: "***** TOE". ALways wondered if that way like CAMEL TOE.
