Don't know if anyone saw it tonight, but some of the stuff on there was truly disgusting. Like that girl's toenails hurl

Credit to that guy though who obviously didn't mind getting his dong out on national TV. I certainly don't have the balls (no pun intended) to do that!

Fair enough people have problems!

But to get it all out on national tv takes enlarged, tender rather itchy balls!

I mean, how do you go the next day at work??
You can't just stroll in there and carry on like nothings happened and ignore all the badly pixelated screen shots that are dotted round the office...


... and on your route in...


... and covering your car when you get back to the car park...


... or plastered on the bus stop, if you catch one!

I do love this program. As said, if you can't see your GP in private about it, why go on national tv? I quite enjoyed those toenails being taken off - sort of like squeezing a huge spot type enjoyment. Dirty cow though just leaving her nail-less toes to half rot and stench away.

Those boobs were bad too - never seen anything like that before but looked a lot better after the op. Looking forward to next weeks instalment.

Yeah she was a wrong'un that girl, I had ingrowing toe nails a few years ago after my foot got run over at work by a pump truck, I had to change the dressing every day along with cleaning the wound properly.

Private Hospital, Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon, General Anaesthetic (+ local anaesthetic - why? it's the actual removal that's painful and she was asleep).
How much did that little lot cost? Didn't look like she's had much aftercare either judging by the state of them.

Could have been done for a fraction of the cost by a Podiatrist, either privately or on the NHS.

No wonder Private Medical Insurance is so expensive when it has to cover stuff like this unneccesarily.

£220 in 1978. I went to see the orthopod on a Tuesday in agony, the NHS couldn't go it for six months. What if we pay? Thursday OK for you Sir? biggrin

It seems muc neater now, they cut the entire toe open when I had mine done, I've still got four scars radiating out from where the nail used to be.

I couldn't fathom it either.

Only thing I can come up with is the lass being a right awkward fecker (I got the impression she was rather flaky) and then being referred into secondary care as not suitable for a community procedure.
To let your feet get into that state means you must be mental, did you see the colour of her other nails, full of muck. Dirty little beeatch. I would suggest she got a few quid for that public show of filthyness.

The LA thing was odd too but I seem to remember something (in the deep recesses of my mind) about it not being unheard of for people to actually die from the shock caused by the sudden trauma of avulsion, or other surgery. General knocks you out and you can't feel anything but the pathways connecting the toe to the brain are still firing and can set of a fight or flight reaction. I THINK, can't remember for sure. I could find out for sure though.

And her post op wounds were manky, they confirmed she is a mentalist. I would have had her on antibiotics with those feckers. Slack cow, a future waste of resources that one.

Zadeks procedure, can be messy and often get errant regrowth of troublesome spicules. See a Podiatrist for nails taking off. In Leeds we can sort you out in the same week if you're that desperate.
