Learning About Podiatrist Care

Hi there, I am Paul Mondeta. On night, while hard at work on the computer, I decided it was time for a snack. I closed up my computer and stood up, ready to exit the room. Suddenly, the computer slipped from my grasp and landed, corner down, on my little toe. The pain was excruciating and I hopped around like a madman while yowling about my rapidly swelling toe.
