Toenail removal - post op expectations

The reason you choose and pay a doctor instead of someone picked at random off the street is to take proper and professional care of you. Some of that professional care involves seeing to it that the patient is told in advance what to expect and to subsequently answer questions and allay concerns which come up and trouble the patient. Patients are not to be expected to know what their toe should look like post-operatively unless they have been so instructed. It is NOT "hassling" a doctor to have your concerns addressed, even if it is simply to tell you that there is no problem. If your doctor does not feel that way, he cannot be a very good doctor. Call him

 

You make a good point and I will call the hospital tomorrow.

I was going to let it go for a few days since there was no pain, but when I went out yesterday, I put on a bandaid and put on running shoes that I felt would give my toe reasonable space, but right now it did not look good. It has a patch that looks whiteish/yellow, which I apologize, is gross, but is true.

So, i will call tomorrow.
thanks again.
