A visit to the Podiatrist

I had to take my oldest son to the podiatrist a few days ago.  He had an ingrown toenail that just refused to heal.  While we were waiting to be called I started drawing to keep from being bored to death.  A few days later, here is the finished sketch:

My son ended up having surgery to fix the nail, poor guy.  He is such a stoic young man that he didn't even flinch or say a word during the surgery despite the anasthetic not having fully kicked in. (Yes, I did have a talk with him about communication and patient resposibility after I found that one out.)

What a great illustation considering the situation. Hope your son is feeling better...poor guy.

I had a similar surgery on a toenail about a year ago and I can attest to how painful it can be. Your son sounds like he handled the ordeal bravely!
