The other day my pt had a colostomy, ya know the gallbladder was removed. (and this was from the nurse giving me report)
Maybe he's had nerve damage for a LOOOONNNNNNNNNNGGG time.
I agree with Lois, he may have had a long-standing issue therefore had nerve damage in his foot. :0)

Had a little kid tell me that his dog had to be "seduced" by the vet for a surgical procedure (he obviously meant sedated).
and his physiatrist said he's crazy.
"My HMO gave me a choice between that and an OB-GYN."
"He's been saying that for 70 years, but I never noticed any problems."
Another instance of foot in mouth disorder.
Hahahah. I've had someone mix up feet and kids before too! They sound far too similar.
Give the man a break. Maybe he's having a second childhood.
