Welcome to c/science_memes @ Mander.xyz!

A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.

Rules

  1. Don't throw mud. Behave like an intellectual and remember the human.
  2. Keep it rooted (on topic).
  3. No spam.
  4. Infographics welcome, get schooled.

This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.

Also anecodtal: I had the procedure you're describing and it worked for me. Ignoring your podiatrist is bad advice

I also had that procedure where the doctor only removes the affected part of the toenail. That was over a decade ago and I've never had the issue reoccur; and I still have my toenail.

I've also had the same procedure before, three times (on different parts of nails, obviously) and it's worked every time.

I had it done once when I was still a child, and the issue reoccurred. No issues for more than a decade from the ones I had as an adult though.
