Hammer toe looks to be potentially painful.

My anal retentive pedantic retired Marine/Navy friend always tries to correct me when I say, CAC card. I immediately redress him and insist that I actually said CA card (which sounds the same). Squid (he was in the Navy at the end of his career) then gave me the stink eye. My grandpa had a hammer toe on the piggy which stayed home. He had Doc Evans just chop it off. Shortly after that, it quit hurting after it started feeling better... Back to the topic, tomato/potato. We all know what it is. Carl

These doctors like to "conserve" - yeah, right  | | |
