Whenever a client of mine goes to a podiatrist (corn removal etc) the doctor cuts their toenails. And does a horrible job!!! I just cannot believe a trained foot doctor would be so crappy at cutting nails.
The last one was a client of mine who had a stroke nearly 30 years ago so one side of her body does not work well. She comes in regularly for her fills (quite a wrestling match as her left hand wants to clamp to her chest) and regular pedis. But because she walks oddly from her stroke she developes a corn on the bottom of her good foot. Well anyway she comes in and tells me that the doc. cut her toenails while she was there and one of them was really hurting. I looked at her big toe and it was cut super crooked and right into the quick. It did not look infected at the time so I told her we would keep an eye on it.
Well the next week she comes in for her pedi...her toe was all infected with an ingrown toenail! This woman can only use one hand. She can't even rub lotion on her good hand. Let alone care for an infected ingrown toenail. I told her she needs to chew that doctor out. That is rediculous that she goes to a doctor and he cuts her nail so short it gets infected...just completely rediculous.
