Walt: What are you doing?
Francesca: I’m selecting and organizing my photos for a presentation.
Walt: Oh, can I see? All of these photos are of feet!
Francesca: Well, I am a podiatrist and I’m giving a talk about foot conditions.
Walt: Ew, some of these are really disgusting!
Francesca: You’re looking at some of the most common foot conditions: blisters, corns, bunions, calluses, and athlete’s foot.
Walt: What is that?
Francesca: That’s an ingrown toenail and those are infected toenails.
Walt: I’m really glad I don’t have either one of those problems.
Francesca: You should be even happier you don’t have one of the more serious conditions such as fallen arches, a clubfoot, or arthritis in your feet.
Walt: But I do have one problem. Let me take these shoes off and show you.
Francesca: Pee-ew! I don’t even need to look at them to know you have very bad foot odor.
Walt: What should I do?
Francesca: Get some new shoes, keep them dry, and change your socks every day.
Walt: Every day? You mean I have to own more than one pair?
