Thanks, i'm just.. I felt like he barely spent time with me and he was making all these proclamations about my life (like not related to the work injury, just in general).

but whatever. This too shall pass and like 7 or 8 years ago this whole situation would have broken me for awhile.

I'm very glad you are not breaking!

Ugh, fuck that guy.

I went looking and found some reviews there were either 5 star "oh my god Dr is the best, most amazing doctor" or 1 star reviews about how awful he is, how he called patients liars, cursed at them, and broke patient privilege by laughing at a patient. Hell he was so rude to one lady's kid after a music lesson when they had some kind of encounter that she left a 1 star review warning people away from him. I don't remember the details on that but he leaves an impression

I wonder what the deal is with the 5 star reviews.

Could be fake.

Could be he has some sort of prejudice and/or untreated mood disorder and/or substance problem that gives you two very different guys.

I’m thinking it’s a different type of patient who gets treated differently.

So, my Not-a-Seder (thank you Good Place) this year has turned out to be Manischevitz Borscht with Beets (that will never not be funny to me), a bottle of wine my coworker gave me for Hanukkah that happens to be kosher for Passover, and a liverwurst and havarti on matzoh sandwich that reminds me of my reform rabbi in NOLA. I will now commence re-reading Harry Kemelman’s Rabbi Small mysteries. Feeling pretty good about my choices. Aside from needing to go to work in the morning. Should have have avoided that.

I don't want to subject the family to my winter-scary feet in sandals.

I can actually exfoliate my foot with my other foot.

Same! I'm going to have to give the pedicure tech a huge tip.

I use a long-handled bath brush with exfoliating scrub on my feet once a week (after exfoliating the rest of me) and it may help, but doesn't remove all the dead skin and calluses.
