Whenever I go to the VA podiatrist, I insist they put padding on my foot rests. I have suffered breakdown a few times on my heels and I let them know it is very easy to damage my paper thin skin. Maybe I'm lucky, but the podiatrist is the only one that touches me or gets me prepped. I never really thought about that before, but there doesn't seem to be an abundance of nurses in the podiatry clinic here in Tampa.
I have also elected to have my PCA take care of my toenails.

The heel sores were from my last visit to the VA's Pediatry clinic. The
Nurse ignored me 3X when I asked her to put my socks under my feet on
the chair footrests.
I've now bought another pair of heavy duty toe nail diag cutters. I'll
find one of my aids to trim them and refuse anyone but a Pediatrist to
touch me at the VA (every 3 mo).
Cherry bombs might work on my toenails.
