jean, totally agree with you,we need to remember always S.O.P. (scope of practice) I do have a lady who wants to get over her corn and ingrow toe nail which she saying was painful and sent her to the foot doctor and she gets upset because one of my clients sent her to me, it was hard for her to understand that pedicures treatments are only cosmetics ; i"m more then happy to help her after doctors visit, she looks to me with her evil eye!!! biz are soo slow and i do need the money i can't refuse to lose a client!!!! I offer her a free express manicure 4 her to remember to come back!!!

Jean, I think you did just what you should have done. I work in a retirement home salon. I've been there for 2 1/2 years and have seen some things that would make a lot of peoples' skin crawl. You do what you can do and nothing more. Michele From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Subject: NailTech:: The Worst Toes Ever.... Date: Thu, 22 Jan 2009 19:53:20 -0500 Okay Tech’s, this is my first posting. I have commented on several but never posted. So here goes….I had an elderly lady that came in today for a mani/pedi. She told me that she has some problems with her toes and so I told her t hat I would help her out in every way that I could. OMG….let me just say that I had never seen anything like what she put up on that foot rest. Total mess. I don’t think that she had ever had a pedicure in her life. Toes shaped every which way but straight and the deepest ridges that I have ever seen. She told me that she likes her toe nails really short and after looking at them I told her that her hyponychium was really high. I then advised her that I would trim down as far as I could but due to hyponychium, I was limited to how far I could trim. Okay….we got past that part and she then advised me that she had several corns…several is an understatement!!!!!!!!!! I asked if she had seen a podiatrist for the excessive amount that she had…bless her heart. (we say that a lot in the south).lolol She said that her Dr. had told her that he would have to break all of her toes and re-set them in order for her to get relief from the corns….cuz of the shape causes friction, so CORNS, well, I never! Have ya’ll ever????? She then proceeded to ask me to cut out all of the corns…I advised her that I would smooth them best that I could using my exfoliation methods and some product to soften but I would not cut them out. She became very upset with me stating that the was the reason that she came in for her service cuz she’s heading to Chicago and will be on her feet a lot. I advised her of what I could do to make her as comfortable as possible and suggested that she have regular pedicures to help her condition and recommended Dr. Sholls medicated corn pads and cushions. So….what do ya’ll think????? Jean Ann Knoxville, TN Windows Live™ Hotmail®…more than just e-mail.
