This transcript has been lightly edited for clarity.
This morning, we are treating a bunion, a hammertoe, and a corn. The patient is in her mid-thirties and has been suffering from bunion pain for many years. Her pain limited the shoes she could wear, so she wore sneakers most of the time. We will make a small incision on the side of the big toe, reduce the bunion, and straighten the big toe. Then we will address the pinky toe, remove the corn, and place a few stitches. The speaker says she will walk out on her feet and return to work the following day.
