Good title for a movie sometime. I can see a serial killer who cuts off the toes of his victims one by one and posts them to politicians.
But no, this is my long overdue routine visit to my podiatrist because of two ingrown toenails on my big toes. My first nervous question to her was did she have any spray on anaesthetic ? You won't need it came the fearful reply, she had tools she said to get under them. So did the Gestapo I was thinking. But so she did. I found it hard to understand how it could be pain free when even the pressure of a slipper was awful.
Of course, experiences can inhabit your mind. My first experience of having a toenail treated was around 65 years ago at the hands of a Dutch doctor whose previous medical practice had been in a Japanese POW camp in Indonesi. I won't describe his technique.
