I just really find your videos so interesting! Always something different and interesting. And your bedside manner is just so cool! You would make any patient so comfortable. This patient must have been feeling like he was walking on tiny Little Rock Salt Crystal's! Ouch!!! Bet he feels better now! He will appreciate diabetic shoes. I get them once a year and they make a big difference in my life! I also try not to wear any one pair of shoes over and over. That helps a lot as well! Have a lovely night!!
Thank you for telling him to leave the medical treatment to the professionals. Since watching your channel, I’ve become much more aware of the problems that can occur when you don’t take care of your feet. I’m not even diabetic, but I check my feet on a regular basis.
This was amazing and your patient seems like SUCH a sweet man. I hope we get an update on him in the future. Amazing job as always Dr. In case your patient reads this: many blessings sir.
Dr. Jefferson, you are an artist with the scalpel! Loved it when you said to him that he “was now in the fold.” Lovely gentleman. Take care everyone! 🤗🤗🤗
I love how you treat your patients like friends. I wish I was closer to dc. If I was even an hour away instead of 3 I would definitely be coming to your office.
Each video you post I learn something new. As a diabetic of 20+ years, you’ve inspired me to really take the time to moisturize on a daily basis. I’m going to work on giving up my flip flops and open sandals this summer. I’ve been blessed so far to have no problems with my feet and I want to keep it that way. Thanks for all you do Dr. Jefferson.
This warmed my heart. He was so grateful for everything. So sweet and kind. Dr you made his day! I love how you make your patients feel comfortable and not embarrassed about their issue. It’s such kindness that gets me right in the heart. Thank you.
I am 72, type 2 diabetes, recovering from a stroke April 2019, doing very well, counting my blessings EVERY DAY. My feet have become my (sort of) pride and joy☺️!! I am lucky enough to be able manage a bath 3-4 times a week and I think that's the best way to manage your feet. A GENTLE well soaped pumice stone and a good foot scrub.... My feet are totally smooth and I have been used in a foot demo in a diabetic class:). I use FLEXITOL cream, it's expensive but if you are careful it can last a good amount of time. After watching your videos I now use Shea Butter on the top of my feet . I have no neuropathy.... so far. Annual checks with NHS Podiatrist is such a boon. I hope this gentleman does ok with his feet now, he said he use the bath tub and that good..... I hope he gets the Flexitol for Feet. Keep up your amazingly GOOD WORK and I wish you blessings in all your endeavours.
Dr. Jefferson, you are the foot whisperer. You go above & beyond in every video that I have watched. The feet come out looking amazing when you are done with them.
Again Dr. Kevin, a fabulous job for your patient. I love how personable you are with them. I hope this mans feet with your skill and his commitment on coming in on a regular basis, will lead to feet that no longer hurt and a lot less chance of infection.
You are so incredibly kind to your patients, it's inspirational. It's a reminder for all of us to be kinder to each other. I always appreciate how you never talk down to people. Your technique is always impeccable and amazing to watch. I learn something new with every video.
As a diabetic for over 25 years, I thought I knew all that could go wrong with my feet. I do check my feet every night and wash them ever day. I do not wear the same pair of shoes two days in a row. I find that helps me keep my feet working, despite not having any feeling in either foot. Like many of the people who have posted here, I wish I lived in your area. My podiatrist retired three years ago and I am having trouble finding a new one. Usually, one will wait, on average, about a year for an appointment as a new patient to see a podiatrist in the area I live. I am not big on making appointments with anyone a year in advance. Thank you for the great video. Your bedside manner and the way you educate your patients is terrific. I truly do wish I could get into see you as a patient. Thank you for the lesson today in diabetic feet.
The things I learn from this channel are worth more than my time and cable bill! I enjoy seeing this hunk of a doctor treating feet (and their attending humans)!
You are so kind and calming to this patient! I truly hope that he follows through with your instructions and gets the shoes and uses the cream and comes back to see you regularly! That looks so very painful, but you have given him the start of a treatment plan which will make him feel so much better!!
I am by no means criticizing the patient for trying to manage these at home. A lot of us diabetics are our own worst enemy when it comes to trying to treat our feet ourselves at home. We know it’s bad to do it, but we think we can fix it ourselves. It’s videos like this that helps inform us about the dangers. I started watching your videos to learn what to do and definitely what not to do. I’ve mentioned in a previous comment on another video that I’m a type 2, and I don’t want to do anything to risk my feet and ankles at all. Thanks again so much.
Hello Dr. Jefferson it is always a pleasure to watch your vlogs , it is always informative on various conditions that occurs on the feet , God bless you 💕
Another great video. I hope I am as effective and knowledgeable to my patients (when I complete nursing school in May) like you are with yours. I live how you interact with them about their health as well as doing your job all at the same time. We need more professionals like you in all areas. Thanks again for sharing.
Calluses with cores. Are these actually corns? Watching you lift out those cores. That sure looks like almost microscopic surgery. Your patience with harvesting his crop of cores is really impressive. 💕
I would have scraped them down and left them alone then slathered my feet with an ointment❤️ I wouldn't want bleeding spots/scabs all over. He's in the right hands😁. You do amazing work 💙 It's something how when we are in pain we get still and quiet 😔 I know the feeling ❤️💜. I pray that he can continue in Horticulture.
OMG! I don’t have this but need you in Connecticut as you are a wonderful doctor and I am type 2 diabetic with equinuos contracture in right foot and some neuropathy and no loss of feeling. Punctate porokeratosis is a skin condition associated with either classic porokeratosis or linear porokeratosis types of porokeratosis, and is characterized by multiple, minute, and discrete punctate, hyperkeratotic, seed-like skin lesions surrounded by a thin, raised margin on the palms and soles.
You never cease to amaze me with your videos Dr Jefferson. This one in particular was quite interesting as I've not seen anything like this before. Was very educational as all your videos are. Thank you for uploading this video. You really are such a wonderful doctor 😊
do not have feet problems, but am learning so much about diabetes and its effects. u have a pleasant chair side manner, while dispensing info. appreciate you. may your blessings continue to multiply as u touch others.
Wow....those are some interesting lesions. They remind me of miniature corns because of their hard cores that were causing this gentleman so much pain. Great job, as usual, Dr. Kevin!
Excellent job dr. I hv watch ur videos . U r always so gracious to ur patients . U talk to them to reassure them & make them comfortable, so they relax & trust u . U r very good at what u do & hv a great bedside manner .
D.C footDoctor is my favourite his attitude is fabulous 1st thing he treats each patient exactly the same .I would love for him to look after my feet but he is in DC.& I am in Glasgow Scotland Stay safe .keep up the good work x
This is an amazing video! I had never heard of punctate porokeratosis before. Poor guy - lucky he found you! Thank you for another very educational video!
Those were so interesting! Bet that was such a relief to your patient! I wish you lived here in WA state, I would see you in a heartbeat. So kind, considerate & completely patient focused. Love your channel & thank you for what you do & who you are!💖💖💖
Great job Dr Jefferson! I have been prescribed Urea Cream and it works wonders on my feet. I also use coco butter. Your videos and feet education lead me to ask my podiatrist for an Rx of Urea Cream. Thank you!
Goodness that was very interesting, how unusual to have these form in a pattern like that. We all tend to take our bodies for granted especially the feet. Thank God there are doctors like you to help us. I couldn't function without healthy normal feet.
If the "sweat glands have stopped working" that's actually autonomic neuropathy, right? It's a common long term diabetic complication that affects the various parts of the "automatic" nervous system, different from peripheral neuropathy, the common problem that causes the foot and lower leg pain and numbness diabetics often struggle with. The two kinds of neuropathies can run alongside one another, for sure.
Your patient is a trooper! He knows you are trying to help. He hung in there when a lot if people would have tapped out. Hopefully he stays in the fold and stop self treating.
He fortunate to have you. Again, you’re a personal and helpful and care for your clients. It’s good to know the length you have with him and you truly will never be forgotten by him.
I have those on the inside of both feet. My doctor said don't worry about it but they bother. I will ask her about the cream you are using. Maybe she will prescribe me some. Thank you for educating me and others about foot care.
Happy birthday! 1) Is the young lady in the office a resident/student of some sort or nurse?? Sorry if you introduced her and I missed it. 2) If you make any dietary recommendations to you patients, what are they?
Probably someone who came along with the patient, mostly because whoever this was didn't seem to understand what the doctor was working on, so she asked about it. If she had been a staff member, she probably would have been a medical assistant. But don't quote me, because I'm just guessing!
