Yesterday my Toms shoes totally destroyed my left heel leaving me with a nasty infection that caused my ankle to become a cankle and it was seriously painful to boot. But who wants to deal with emergency rooms or urgent care? After family intervention and the real possibility of my foot falling off I decided to let my pride go and visit my local hospital!
Upon first entering the waiting room it looked like there was going to be quite a wait, great... I had work the next morning and wanted to go home and watch some food network before I passed out. That was looking like a grim prospect... But alas they had me triaged, had me in the back, seen by an amazing Physicians Assistant who was fast and friendly, my foot was cleaned and wrapped and antibiotics, tetanus shot and discharge paperwork in about an hour! Hopefully I won't have to use them again but if I do at least I know I am in good hands!
